Until I took Linda's camera while she got settled on the bamboo raft and managed to drop it into the puddle of water at my feet!
So the only photos thereafter were from my phone - which is a pity since we saw a small group of wild elephants and a couple of new birds including a couple of kingfishers which were happy to pose for photos.
On the trek into the lake - with a guide and an armed forest ranger - we had a great view of the Giant squirrel which is native to this area and spotted some more birds and some very colourful butterflies.
While we stopped to eat the pack lunch which they provided, I asked the ranger what he expected to use his 16 gauge pump action shot gun for, and as he explained that it was more to frighten off any animals that got too close, he also admitted that in 4 years doing his job he had never spotted a tiger himself.
It would have been a great day all round apart from the camera incident - and the good news is that once we got back to our room and Linda set the camera in the sun to dry out thankfully it worked normally again.
So in addition to me being out of the doghouse, there are a few more pictures to upload once the internet connection speeds up
