But alas to no avail - we drew another blank. If it wasn't for that poo, I'd think the tigers were extinct already.
We headed back to Jungle Mantra for omelette and pancakes (amazing food here) and then had a quick butchers at the local school. Very basic, no electricity and not many teachers, but perhaps typical of an Indian village school.
We were a couple of cricket balls lighter as we set off by car for the 6 hr drive to Khajuradho.
We met our tour host Rajak, who checked us in at the Taj hotel and took us off to a great Indian Dance show.
Again a lot of hanky waving reminiscent of a rather up- market Morris dance, but great entertainment.
The next morning, we toured the great Hindu temples that the town is renowned for, built about 1000 ad, and remarkably preserved.
The carvings on the walls are also famous for being a bit naughty.
I've never seen a horse ridden this way before!
At midday we set off to drive to Jhansi to catch the train to Gwalior. Driving in India is interesting to say the least. Our driver tells us you need 3 things: a good horn, good brakes and good luck...
The Tuk-tuk's are amazing- we counted at least 15 people on one of them- even a couple standing on the roof!
