Tuesday morning we had a quick breakfast and jumped into the back of a jeep.
After half an hour we boarded a dug out canoe and swept down the Rapti River for an hour on the swirling flood waters.
This was followed by a two hour jeep ride to the Chitwan National Park. Upon arrival we walked across the bridge to the park, which is bordered on all sides by water and provide a natural sanctuary.
Immediately we saw a Nepalese Rhino wandering along the river bank.
After an hours walk we stopped for lunch at a Crocodile farm. The Crocs here have extraordinarily long snouts and have been endangered.
We then started to walk through the jungle which was punctuated by two bridge crossings. The first with the deck of the bridge under water (which was very hairy) and the second just a slimy log bridge.
It was a beautiful walk as the rain eventually stopped and we arrived at the river bank for a canoe trip across to our camp on the opposite bank.
We enjoyed a beautiful sunset with a cold drink, followed by dinner and sleep on the solid wood bed with one inch thick pad...
