Lions and Tigers and Bears; Oh My!

During our last two nights in Chitwan National Park we have been able to step back and enjoy the rhythm of the day.

Mornings have been foggy.

The mountains sit in the distance with their snow capped tips seeming out of place among the green forests.

On our jeep safari we saw no lions, tigers or bears.... However we were lucky to see deer, birds, crocodiles, lizards and best of all three rhino; whom we named in order, Ricardo, Rhonda and Ronnie. Rhino are solitary animals and just hang out by themselves... None of them were at all fussed we were checking them out.

Sunsets have been savored.

We joined in with a local troupe of Nepalese stick dancers last night in some traditional dancing. At the point at which Dan had to unzip his polar fleece and fling it to me so he could really unleash his groove I wasn't sure if the locals were ready for his moves...! They all commented afterwards that he is a very good dancer. Nepalese Idol maybe? Ricardo, Rhonda and Ronnie could be judges...
