Here kitty, kitty,kitty....

Hello all
Well we made it to Rathamborne (sp?) National Park and in addition to checking out a cool old fort, went on two safaris. One of the safaris we saw the "Queen of Rathamborne" who is the oldest tiger in the park, sitting patiently in a den watching the deer walk past. Obviously she wasn't hungry! We waited for an hour and a half for her to get up, as she did we all waited with baited breath.... for her to lie down again. Yes ladies and gentleman, it's official, we had a shift!
Thankfully that morning we had been really fortunate and seen one of her daughters for quite a while ( a little far away) but I got some decent shots anyways. We also saw crocs, mongoose and a large variety of deer and birds. The important thing, I achieved one of my goals since I was a little kid, to see a tiger in the wild!!!!
We're now in Agra and are heading out to see the Taj Mahal.

Hoping everyone is having a good week, and yes my tummy is better - thanks for the well wishes!

Namaste
