At 5pm I went for a walk with Loxman we saw government elephants and one wild on called Ronaldo who seemed to be the father of all the calf’s all the locals were very excited to see him. We walked back to were I saw the crocs and saw sunset then returned to the hotel for tea.
The next day we left at 7am for a canoe down the river crocodiles were hunting next to us. We then walked through the jungle seeing bats, deer, and leeches. As we got back to the village a young rhino had wandered in and appeared very friendly. After this we went to the elephant breeding centre and I was told to wait in a room. I found out that they had shut it down as the president was visiting. I watched him walk past he seems to be very liked.

Loved the monkeys the were called bonnet macaques because of there hair. The ferry back was awful I was soaked, people were being sick and it was so busy. I decided I was ready to eat after and went to subway and got a 6 in Mexican cheese sandwich. I went to the hotel and spent the afternoon sunbathingand drinking cocktails . In the evening I went for a walk and saw a woman who i bought souvenirs from and she told me she lived in the dobi ghat slum. I couldn’t find anywhere to eat as it was busy so went back the the place I’d had breakfast in on my birthday. I’m stomach was playing up and there toilet was broken I had to go over the road to Starbucks. I got pizza and chips and it was delicious. I went back to the hotel and sat by the pool until about 10pm but needed to charge my phone. So sat in the bar and chatted to the dj. I left for the airport at 12:30 I could of gone earlier as my flight was at 4:40 and it took so long getting through the airport.
