Here in beautiful(?) downtown Jabalpur

 Just arrived to very strong internet connection. Apparently Jabalpur is a centre of arms manufacture, full of military bods. So, after 5 days revving around the jungle, today is a city day. Soon we'll go on a photo walk to the old part of town. Tonight we're going to some kind of religious ceremony on the banks of the Narmada River, so should be interesting. 

On the way here today, we stopped into a town full of indigenous tribespeople, who were all very friendly to us, and let us take photos of them. The local potter showed us how he made pots in the baking sun, not because he was being paid, but he was just being kind. 





Above, you can see some of my favourite photos of the last few days. I haven't had time to go through the thousands of photos I've made so far. We have a very busy schedule with just a couple of hours down every couple of days. By the time I have dinner, I can't do anything but sleep. But that's ok. Plenty of time to sleep when I'm dead.

  1. Hello Maria
    You have been busy!
    In the first photo I can see your your shadow with your signature hat. I had to laugh.
    I'm glad you have been taking lots of photos. You must be happy.

    1. We’re on the van heading towards Satpura National Park at the moment. It’s 1:19 pm now and we’ve been on the road since 9am. Looking forward to getting there now. Tonight we’re going to do a night safari. Should be interesting. How’s everything going at home?
