Tiger, tiger

We came to Rathambhore National Park to see tigers in the wild. We went out by jeep early in morning and again in tje afternoon with out any luck. We get another chance tomorrow.  We're staying at Abrar Palace and Jungle Camp- a home in the wild. It's a wonderful oasis of clean air, trees and lawns. We have out meals in a tent 

Or outside

There is entertainment in the evening

The park was the. Maharaja's hunting grounds. Queen Elizabeth shot 2 tigers here in the early 60s. You drive single file through these great gates.



We saw peacocks all over as well asYellow wagtail, Red tail Lapwing, Parquet, Egret,Kingfisher 
The big score but no photo was a Leopard 
Crocodiles
Wild boars
Monkeys
Several varieties of deer, antelope and elk




Much fun but hard work rattling around in the jeep. We didn't see any tigers but we did see paw prints about 6 inches in diameter. And some people heard the tiger roar. Beautiful scenery and a lovely place to be.
