We crossed the border and entered Tamil Nadu yesterday. The rainy season has just finished and the land is lush and green, but we were so nackered yesterday that it was hard to take anything in! We arrived at Jungle Hut just as it was getting dark but we ate, drank and sang raucoulsy around a camp fire beneath a starry starry sky and eventually fell into bed in our jungle huts truly exhausted!! Today has been a rest day in that we've stayed here and not travelled although we did get up at 5am to go on a safari - and saw a giant squirrel, jungle chickens and a peacock! I think I see more wildlife on my journey to work!! After breakfast Neil went to his room and I found a hammock slung between two trees and so I slept for six hours - what absolute bliss! Everyone has had a wash and brush up and we're now gathering on the terrace having a few beers with the sound of the jungle all arround - Leonard Cohen (I'm You Man) and the chink of glasses!
Tomorrow's going to be a long one - 250Km through mountains and potholed Indian roads - so chocks away by 6am! It'll be an even bigger challenge for the sick ones amongst us - the sickness numbers are rising - ooer...
Before we go - big apology to Bob who I mistakenly rang from my mobile at 4.30am - I'm so sorry!!
Speak soon - managed to post some new pics too - feeling so organised after a day's rest!!
Judy and Neil
VERY GOOD choice of music... I love Leonard ... sounds like you needed a rest today. Snow galore over here at the moment! Hope the sickness does not affect you and Nel x Take care

ReplyDeleteYou know I am always up for a chat Jude but 4.30am is a little early for me!! Glad to hear that it's still living up to your expectations. Hope Neil has adjusted ok now and is enjoying it as much as you. Make sure you wear your woollies for the return journey to Blighty ! x
