Bamboo Rafting


The main gate of the park in Thekkady.

.... and we're off.....

walking...walking...walking...where are the bamboo rafts?

Villagers going somewhere.


...more walking...walking...walking...

..suddenely, our first elephant sighting!!

Be very very quiet.... sshhhhh..

Our protector. Don't know when he last fired his gun but
it looked good on him!

Finally, some water.... where are the rafts? Not yet....

Stopped for breakfast, heating up the stove for tea.

Finally, we're on the rafts. It is HOT and we have one and
a half hours of paddling to go.... yahoooooooo!

Oue second wild elephant sighting. Very exciting.

Now we're on land and have circled back to the second
group of elephants.


Two babies. We have to be EXTREMELY quiet! We are
also down wind of them so they cannot smell us. Thank
goodness I showered this morning!!!!!
