Elephant Safari in Chitwan jungle, rhino and deer spotted ...

Fee Bellamy reports:

Now in Chitwan! Yesterday was Elephant Rides and they also saw a little 10 day old baby Elephant! Rhino and Deer also spotted. 

Today they had Jungle Walks and canoed down the Rapti River. They visited the Crocodile Breeding Centre (these are fresh water, frog eating Crocs!) and are now freshening up before a slide show and then dinner. 

They will leave, after breakfast tomorrow, for Kathmandu where I'm sure they will have a little rest before starting their Project phase.

Expeditioners transferred yesterday by road from Pokhara to the 'steamy jungle' of the Royal Chitwan National Park.
