3rd Day in Chitwan


Surprise surprise we had the potatoes left from our dinner last night fried up for breakfast along with egg on toast, nice. 
Today's activities started with an hour an half of bird watching along the bank of the river, not something I've ever been into I must say but I played along with the guides excitement of spotting certain birds.
Had a short break while it rained and then we headed off to bath some elephants in the river. I went in first and it was brilliant, they are so rough but you can feel the warmth through there thick shin. I was soaked and then it was Sally's turn, she was given the same treatment. We then watched while other guys had a go and then wet and cold we headed back to the lodge for a warm shower and some lunch. Requested soup today and we got mushroom soup and a plate of chips, really nice. After lunch we headed back to the river for a canoe ride which was nice apart from it raining on and off, saw a big croc on the river bank. After that we went on a jungle walk for a couple of hours which again was good but we didn't see anything apart from rain. Then onto the elephant breeding sanctuary where Nepal are trying to help keep the elephants going in their country. While there a rhino just wandered up to the fence and allowed us to take photos then just wandered off back into the jungle, highlight.
Home for dinner and what delights will they have in store for us today?two bowls of soup!!
