Garry got up at 5am to catch the jeep going into Ranthambore National Park. The aim was to spot the Indian tiger. There aren't many of them left, but Ranthambore is one of the best places to spot one. He woke Sam up at 10am with a cup of tea and a scowl. No tiger this time.
We both went out in the afternoon and after spotting crocodiles, deer, wild boar, owls and hundreds of birds we came out of the park without seeing the tiger. Gggrrrrrrr....
The park was beautiful and although we were disappointed (as
well as broke!) it was a great experience. We caught the train to Agra with an Irish couple who were fresh off the boat horrified that we had travelled through India like this. The train was busy and we had no seats so it was a bit rough. We arrived at Agra at 10.30pm and didn't realise that our hotel had a great view of the Taj Mahal until we woke up the next morning and opened the curtains. WOW!
