October 4 – Day Begins with Rain

We woke up early (6AM), getting ready for our first game viewing. As we opened the door, we saw it raining very hard. After arriving at the restaurant, we were told that we’d have breakfast and wait to see if the weather improved. No change by 7:45 AM, so we returned to our room. Sanjay told me that we would wait until we hear if the park will be open or closed today. We’re scheduled for two game viewings so we might get to go later. As Sanjay says, OGK (Only Good Knows). There is a great need here for the rain as this year has been a drought without the usual monsoon rains. As much as I want to go into the park and maybe see a tiger (They’re very elusive and rarely seen.), I am not too upset with the situation. Not much to do at this hotel with nothing other than the restaurant open. One person was told there was no newspaper delivery due to the rain. New one for me! Massage people aren’t here either as they are by appointment only. The shop owner has been called so he’ll open soon. He’ll probably do a great business since there are 32 OAT travelers here and a few other people.
