This post should be full of pics of gorgeous tigers and tales of exciting tiger sightings after our early rise and Jeep safari today. However it was not to be. Not only did we not see any but the only things we did see were deer and some pretty birds. Turns out there are only two in this park of thousands of hectares and 67 in the whole area. Guide tried to jolly us along but when he announced he had found porcupine tracks, I got a fit of the giggles. We drove for 12 hours to get to this spot on very bumpy roads that are being “done up” which means our road and detours were temporary. Not good when you consider the potholed state of the existing one that needs the upgrade. The other disappointment today was that I didn’t go on the afternoon excursion as I needed the rest, trying to look after myself and not get sick. Turns out to have been a very good outing to a women’s craft cooperative where they make lots of things, have micro loans, run their own bank accounts etc. It’s the sort of thing I’d have been very interested in normally. At least I’m glad our group supported them with purchases. Oh well, you can’t win them all.
