Did lot of interesting things ... visited 5 cities in 6 days ... Delhi ,Agra , Bharatpur , Ranthambore and Jaipur . The trip was a mix of history (a bore at my age ) and wildlife ( wow for animal lover like me ) .
Snapshot :Photos Follow in the next blog post
Day 1 and 2 : Delhi
Chill out at hotel and malls
Day 3 : Agra
Taj mahal ( not recco for kids my size ...how can you enjoy going around a building with 1000 other people ) .My time was when i got to feed the squirrel and showed of my disappearing egg magic( thats another story ) to foreign children .The best part was when a monkey entered our room and there was action outside when guards had to intervene with their guns to get him away .
Day 4 : Bharatpur
birds .. animals .. rikshaw ride ...
Day 5 : Ranthambore
This was the best part . Moving around a speeding open jeep into the thick jungle to catch a glimpse of the tiger .I did something memorable here .
Towards the end of the jungle we finally saw two sleeping tigers .A posse of 25 open jeeps surrounding them in a silence enough to hear a falling leaf and gentle breeze .At least 100 pair of eyes looking at the two lazing tigers Suddenly there is a loud cry ....yep that is me ... which not only shatters the silence but wakes up the two tigers . People looked in my direction and the tigers ...mum and dad embarrassed almost disowning for a while .In the meantime the tiger struck a majestic pose ...the one that you always see in the perfect photos . Suddenly everyones cameras went clicking ....and i am sure the guys must have thanked me for getting the lazy cats to pose ... much to the relief of a flushed mum n dad . And why did i cry .... the guide snatched my camera and i couldnt take that .
Well, after that was over i turned to mom and in my eloquent english said "i want to see lions now ". Well i guess that was the animal lover in me talking .
On my next post i will give tips on how to travel with children of my age without getting hassled
