We arrive at the lodge in Chitwan National Park in time for lunch (perfect). Not long after lunch we all piled into the back of a truck and drove off to do some tiger spotting. Well we did not see any tigers but we did see several birds, deer and birds (yep! We saw so many birds I thought I would mention it twice).
6am wake up and breakfast before making our way through town to start our elephant safari. Yep! elephant safari. With 4 to an elephant we managed to squeeze ourselves in and hold on tight. Not much time went past and we caught sight of an Asian Rhino bathing in the river. Did you know that Rhino’s fart! Well they do, we caught this Rhino creating bubbles, hee hee!!. Our elephant continued to walk through the long grass and jungle all in the hope of spotting a tiger or maybe a sloth bear. Nope! No luck again!
Back at the lodge, before lunch we walked down to the river and watched the locals washing the elephants before we knew it we were in the water with the locals and the elephants having an AWESOME time washing the elephants. Or were the elephants washing us, either way we all had a ball.
Heads hanging in disappointment cause we did not spot a tiger, we make our way back to lodge for dinner and a early night ready for a early start.

After lunch we set off down the river in a canoe 30 minutes later our canoe experience was over and it was time for us to set off on foot for the last time to see if we could spot any tigers or sloth bears. I just need to remember to run, no wait stand still, break from the group, or was it find the group..... Oh! No! I think I am in trouble.
Our walk in the jungle turned out to have limited wildlife that we could spot but was nice to finish it with a sunset over the river.
