Flight is booked!!

It's all arranged. I am flying out on the 1st of May and will not return till the end of September.
Yep, India, here I come!!!:D


I have visited Claudia to find out what she can organize for me, what I have to think of to take with me, what things I have to take into account when I am there, etc. It was a very informative evening and made me and Claudia excited about the 5 months coming that I will spend in TATR. Ofcourse, not everything is nice. There are some snakes, scorpions and other creepy crawlies, but hey that's life in a rural area.


The house


In the park there are many animals to be found like Tigers, Leopards, Deer, Crocodiles, Elephants, Bears and so on. My house for 5 months will be on a hill with view on the Tadoba lake, beautiful scenery....what else could someone wish for... i am warned for termites, so I am not to put anything that termites eat against the walls of my house.

Tigers, here I come....

Well, there have been some complications, but they are solved now. School approved and I can do my practical placement in India with the tigers and communities that live in and round the reserve. I am well happy about this, and look forward to this experience.

I spoke to Claudia and she told me that my room will be in the reserve and has a great view on the lake. I added this picture, but can't say if it's the lake or just a lake in the reserve.

What a great view!

Have found some links to the tiger reserve, feel free to have a look and inform yourself on where I will stay 5 months, from May-September :D
