Tigers ,Grashoppers,Monkeys ,Squirrels and More : Vaction 09 Part 1

It had been a while since i posted a travelog ....it has been quite sometime since my mum and dad took me on travels! This Diwali i went on my "Tantrum Vacation ". Fun for me not so  for mum n dad .It was a great holiday ....i was at my best (worst !) .

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
