I'm just hoping we make it on time. We're all booked in at a place called the Jungle Lodge - apparently it's just outside the entrance to the park. If you go onto youtube and type in 'tiger attack' there is a clip on the first page of a tiger attacking an elephant, with a whole load of people on top of it! Very scary! I think the full clip is called Kandaga Tiger Attack or something like that. I'll let you know what it's like and try and post some photos. Hi Buffy – yeah the tigers should be fantastic!

That is when the organisers have arranged a finishing party etc and should be when most teams arrive. However there is a very real chance that we could miss that date due to breakdowns, fuel shortages, revolution, serious accidents - you get the idea! I am now at Heathrow about to board my Jet Airways flight to Delhi - only 67 seats taken out of 287 apparently! Great result! Although given my luck with airplanes I'll be sandwiched between warring 3 year old siblings while the parents are asleep at the back. in answer to your question Susan, we are hoping to arrive in Pondicherry on the 15th June.

I like your top 3 travel songs, even if I would have chosen a different soundtrack for a trip in India! :-) I've been listening to Vampire Weekend this week, but I missed their Monday gig at Circolo degli Artisti. :-( Can't wait to read about your Indian adventure!
