Had a great time standing up in the geep, riding along looking in the forest for animal. Had an interesting thought; that hunters turned conservationists, then preceded to hunt the poachers, interesting …
At the moment we are sitting on our bags waiting at the train station for our train back to Delhi where we will get a connection to Agra. Agra is apparently the worst city in India, with lots of hustling and con artists, but it is home to the magnificent Tajh Mahal, a structure made from entirely from white marble. Looking forward to some sun set/rise photography. Also took some 350 photos in the Tiger reserve… looking forward to sorting them out and getting them online for your viewing pleasure.
Tonight we met a nice guy named Iqbal. Very charismatic guy running the “high speed internet café” that has no power for most of the day (shops start up generators if that have/need them). The hight speed link was actually a GPRS mobile phone link that was v.v.slow. But despite that we talked for ages about the arts & crafts import/export business he is thinking of starting. Unfortunately he didn’t seem to understand that as an import/export agent the most valuable thing he has is his contacts and ensuring he position in the supply chain. He had actually given his contacts onto some Australian entrepreneurs. Seems that uneducated people can be very easily, even unknowingly be hood winked out of what could be theirs.
Think we will start doing vodcasts of our travel adventures soon too, just have to work out a good way to share them.
I’m off to stare into the bright fluro lights and let my thoughts drift,
Love Nathan

I was talking to a client whose job is study of conservation of animals in asia. Her husband works Cambridge uni. and studies biology.Spend a couple of month here and rest travelling world THey would be interesting couple for you and Elllie to meet. She said their is quite a story behind the few tigers left in India and that there are about 5 reserves (all too small for the tigers to survive) Maybe that is why there are very few left.
