With Mark feeling a little better we decided on a short day so that we could get in a safari and hopefully see some large cats.
The location was Pench National Park, and unfortunately they wouldn't let us do it in our Tuk Tuk :( As it turned out that was probably quite a good thing. We arrived in plenty of time, checked into the hotel and arranged the safari for 3pm. At 2pm the rain struck, but being true Brits, we opted to go anyway. Tom with his trusty hat as the only rain protection, and the belief that "it was passing" and would be over soon.
In actual fact it wasn't just passing and Tom was completely soaked for the entire trip. We didn't see any cats but we did see.... Samba Deer, Spotted Deer, Monkeys, Elephants, a Scorpion, a few Jackals, Peacocks and lots of other unknown but brightly coloured birds. Despite being in a 4x4 several of the tracks seemed impassible justifying their decision to refuse us entry via our own transport.
Current Location: Heaven's Garden Resort, Pench Tiger Reserve. 21N 43'26.5" 79E 22'27.3" 432m

Glad to hear that you have recovered Mark & that you are making good progress on your journey. How is the tuk-tuk holding up?? Hope that you are still talking to each other!!
Look forward to hearing more soon.

We did wonder when you said you'd eaten something unidentifiable, but delicious, that you'd bought at the side of the road. These are usually just salmonella stands, but there could be money to be made by setting up a stall along side selling Ciprox, immodium or just corks!
Shame about the tigers, but who can blame them for hiding from the sight of you two - Mark looking skeletal after his d&v and Tom wearing only a hat?!
Glad that you're enjoying yourselves and hope it continues. Love Sue and Bill.
How come you're still up in the north.... i thought you were supposed to be going south?????
