A vacation is no fun without shopping. So it was a shopping day for us. It’s mostly the same thing that you get everywhere. And usually the clothes and most of the fabrics comes from India and Thailand. If you are good at bargaining,it’s a bonus. So I was remembering some friends of mine who are really awesome at it. You can actually bargain till less than half the price, it’s just how much you can talk and charm them. It reminded me of the street markets in Mumbai and Thamel in K-town:) Everything gets over really early, the days just starts and it ends here. The residents are an early risers and work starts from 9 but guess what it gets over in 7 hours. The shopping area gets shut at 3.30 and people just chill at home !!
The next day we went to Casela National Park. The place is again beautifully maintained and has loads of activities that one can do apart from the park with birds and endangered animals. There was Quad biking, jungle safari, Walk and interaction with lions, canyoning, Segway and zip lining. We tried scheduling our time for doing it all, but had to miss out on some as I just wrote in the that places get shut by 4.30 in the afternoon.
An adventurous day which started with crossing the hanging bridge to reach the zip line departure point was the most thrilling part. The narrowest plank of wood that I have ever walked on for 15 minutes and the ones who were not walking fast or as per the instruction or were scared the instructor would jump on the wood from behind and shuddered the rest. The fear would kill the fear- he said which was so true. The experience was crazy. The catchy part is to just keep looking at the other end and not seeing down. If you once look down, you would not want to step to the next plank. After crossing the line we were ready to zip line. And there we were looking at the most amazing view and in the air for the next 3 rounds of zip line. It’s just at the beginning that you are a little nervous but then once you are flying you don’t really feel it as it gets over in no time. It was just perfect and exactly as we had imagined it to be .
Then it was a safari ride for an hour. Zebras, ostriches and deer all around. And we made them eat 
bread. The ostrich has no teeth and the bite felt like a clothespin clamp. And the driver showed them bread and the ostriches started running and came ahead of the bus and as it is the bird with the fastest land speed. The park also had a very beautiful Petting farm. The Petting Farm is a great joyful experience for people where they can meet and pet “Bambi” the deer,cockatoo and the wild boar among other animals.We missed the experience on that.

The breed of white lion was glowing in her beauty. We entered and we had lions enclosure for an exciting 15 minutes with the lions.
A day spent at a real animals sanctuary and we did miss the water and the beaches 🙂 I wonder how is it going to be after the trip ends 🙂
