Oh...Nepalese fresh air

We are pleased to say we are nearly 100 percent now and the doctor and chemist did good. We headed south from Kathmandu down to the Chitwan National Park, on the Indian border. They have the largest population of Asian rhinos in the world. They also have over 100 wild tigers and over 50 wild elephants. Although all these are hard to spot.

We are spending 3 nights here staying in Eden Jungle resort (some huts and a restaurant in the village at the edge of the National Park). We have had a guide called Dan who has been brilliant and showed us real tiger tracks on a walk through the forest. We have been on an elephant ride and spotted a rhino with her baby and some antelope. Afterwards we went down to the river and bathed the elephants. This meant we had to climb onto the back of an elephant and get dunked in the river. The elephant kept squirting water at us too with his trunk. Great fun for the kids in you!
