and I was in the reception at 05:25 and I returned to my tent 10 minutes before 6. No sign of my jeep. They called when I came to the tent and I walked back to the reception. There had been some problem with the jeeps.

All jeeps are here, except my jeep
The jeep is covered by a canvas, but it was impossible to sit under the canvas. So I asked the driver to remove it, it was not raining but it was a thick fog and we had very poor visibility. Well, will not be easy to see anything in the bushes, but fog is better than rain. We were going to a new zone today to look for excitements and the gate was not far away from the hotel.
These zones, I never understand how it can be forbidden to leave the car. Well, I understand why, you can be killed by a leopard or tiger. But outside the gate people are walking and driving motorcycles! You drive on the main road and you can leave the car, 10 meters from the car and it is TOO DANGEROUS!!!
Drive on the dust path and it is very dangerous with the tigers and 200 meter away there is a village with children playing. And my hotel, they have spotted several leopards in the bushes, fun to know when walking in the dark between the tens and the restaurant.
Anyway, we entered the gate and we were soon driving through a foggy bamboo forest looking out for leopards and slot bears. And the landscape was very dramatic in the fog.

The fog disappeared after some time and we even had a wee bit of sunshine at the end of the safari. We ended up at a beautiful lake, we had to cross one of the main roads. Here was no gates leaving the “Tiger zone” so it is possible to get in to the tiger reserve without paying, but if you get caught...
We drove along the lake and the first bird we spotted was a Black-winged Kite. No good light so the pictures went straight to the garbage bin. We saw a Long-tailed Shriek and a beautiful Indian Roller. And of course, the Indian Roller refused to fly away when we wanted to. Stand-by with the cameras to get the beautiful blue “explosion” when the Indian Roller takes off.

We spotted a Little ringed Plover just next to the jeep, what a beautiful bird! Of course, by the time I had my camera ready the bird was gone. There were many Ibis and Storks and we saw a Purple Heron and a Grey Heron. Black winged stilts and Kingfishers.
We had a good time and it was time to leave the park, we have to be out at 10 o'clock and the last thing we saw was a Grey headed fish eagle but the bird took off so no pictures. Well, the adventure at Tadoba Andhari Tiger Project had come to an end.

to find out how the road trip turns out.
General election in Sweden September 2018. Sweden is already beyond rescue and this is most likely the last free election in Sweden. They are already changing the “Free speech” laws in Sweden. Censorship and it only show how desperate they are to keep the population in the dark, as by now they have (must have) realised how they have destroyed what might have once been the best country in the world.
State media blasting 24/7 on how well Sweden is doing when it is obvious for everyone how health care, education system, police, judicial system and the welfare state have collapsed.
Where it is now allowed to be married to children, rape is a normal thing that the Police don’t even investigate thanks to the world’s first feminist government. What a sad joke this country have turned in to.
Everyday life in Sweden HD
Meanwhile, the old Swedish people in the elderly care starve to death
What a shame!
Well, and everything he says is true
Sweden is already beyond rescue
