Subject: Post: Second safari trip was not so much a success, in regards to tiger photos. We did saw some wild dogs and other animals, but no tigers at all. At some point during the trip it started raining extremely heavily, so we had to hide in the car under a leaking cover while driving the muddy dirt roads. Well, at least we had one waterproof bag with us for passports, wallets etc. Wet clothes are now hanging on my paracord-made drying line, let's see if they are in decent condition until morning.The heavy rain seems to continue entire night, it's pausing for a while every now and then and then it again continues. Too bad some things cannot properly be captured by a camera. After the worst part of the thunderstorm was over and we were driving back home the sun was setting down and for a while everything turned totally yellow. Never seen that kind of light, it was at the same time very light and dark and everything had yellow glow.One downside I have to mention about living in the jungle. The amount of insects is unbelievable, there are literally millions and millions of different kinds of insects everywhere, both inside and outside. Inside the tent the insect amounts are tolerable due to electric insect repellent, but outside it gets too annoying to be in minutes when something is all the time crawling on you. Almost none of the insects are biting though.There are also frogs, and the noise is continuous. I just made one of the frogs funnily confused by pointing it with a flashlight. The usual "BEEP BEEP BEEP" turned to uncertain-sounding "Be..ee..ep?". These frogs were small, but Lyuda was complaining she me a monster outside, a frog which was the size of a damn football..
