another very early wake up call, long travel day
bus to a first class train for about three hours. Train seems to be about the Ascella class between New York and Providence, Rhode Island. about the same speed they’re all of it seems to be above ground.
around 18 million people take these long distance trains per day
every stop they hand out newspapers, local newspapers from that region.
Train then bus then lunch and more bus so we get to eighth century ninth century Hindu Temple area.
next several hours over a very bumpy road to get to the forest.
next few photos are from my fantastic room
after this long day of travel, I skipped dinner just didn’t feel like eating

I just read an article which outlined the history of the Panna National Park, especially as a tiger preserve. Looks as though there was a lot of poaching going on. Will be interested to hear what you learn from your guide about prospects for retaining the current population.
Your room at the lodge is indeed impressive-appropriate for royal travelers! A very long day… hope you feel rested enough to enjoy the wildlife tomorrow.
