Nagpur

We've reached the half way point of our journey and a place called Nagpur.

Just had a fantastic meal in our hotel after a very long day of travelling. We stayed in Khana national park yesterday and went tiger trekking this morning. Tigers, it turns out, are very shy and don't like to make themselves visible EVEN if you say "here kitty kitty" or offer them tuna steak.So we didn't manage to find one, but did see various other creatures and saw some lovely conutryside. After five hours of that we drove for a further 7 hours to get here.

The tuk tuk remains in one (rather rickety) piece. We visited the garage yesterday and got her patched up and running like a dream. In fact this was the first time it became a 'her' rather than a 'he' because she sounded so nice and smooth! However, after today's blast and many bumps and bashes she has once again taken on a more maculine sound as the exhaust is half off. Maybe one day we'll get through a day without a bit falling off...

We're up at 6 tomorrow to try and cover the 500km to Hyderabad - wish us luck!
