Subject: Post: Our first attempt to do a safari trip to the natural park was not so much a success. The park was obviously closed for some unknown reason when we reached the gates after five in the morning. The park officials would only start working at 10am in the morning, so the morning was spent in alternate activities like visiting a local fishing village and taking a short rowing boat fishing trip with them. One crab become our lunch later on. :)It's surprising how long the day feels when you wake up at five. At ten we already felt like we had been spending an entire day doing things. The jungle heat also stays at tolerable levels in the morning, so waking up early is a good thing here. Unfortunately we found out that the park would stay closed for the entire day, so we had to continue the alternate activities. We took a drive around the nearby cities with the hotel owner, visited an hindu temple and a project which provides employment and help for disabled people. Even their orchestra played us a set. We are still the only guests of the resort, and the service level is even closing to be annoying. Like the girls said, it feels like all the time there are more people coming to offer service in the accommodation. Or that they are trying to feed us to the tigers, making us fat before that. :)Tomorrow morning the actual park is definitely going to be open, so again five in the morning we shall attempt to see some yellow-black striped friends. :) Latitude: Longitude: Security Code:
