The small town of Tala no exception with a ceremony at the school of singing and dancing.
I was also interested in getting the washing done ( well it was Monday, washing day !).
Then the highlight a safari.
I should have had no greater expectation really but I did. After the pathetic performance in the other two parks this was supposed to be good, but when you put a youth in a jeep and let him loose on a closed road what do you expect. Yes a very erratic and rough ride. So we raced round in the trees, the only person having fun was the driver. We saw precious little wild life until the call went up Tiger ! and the race was on. 25 to 30 jeeps taking whatever path they could to find the tiger that had been seen. Soon there was a crush of jeeps reving, people talking phones ringing, cameras flaching as this Tiger ( they couldn't decide wether it was male of female which suprised me) strolled out of a creek bed, rolled in the grass and wandered back into the bush !
That was the show folks.
