Hi everyone

I have managed to drag myself away from Hampi and i am now in Dandeli.

It, a hard life being famous

In the guide book it said that there is a jungle lodge where you pay 25 pounds a night and you get a tent in the Jungle all your food, and guided tours of the Jungle where you may see Black Panthers  Tigers and Crocs.

well either the guide book is full of Sh*t or the staff at the Jungle  mistook me for Bill Gates, because when after traveling for 6 hours I got there (a very hot sweaty mess) they wanted 75 pounds a night. (what 75 quid for a tent and some rice)  to say that I wasn't a happy little bunny is a bit of a under statement anyway after telling them were they can stick there tent (and it wasn't in the Jungle) I trotted of to the nearest little town to find a somewhere to stay that didn't cost the price of the entire national debt of india.

when I arrived at the only hotel in town I was a bit freaked out because to get there I had to walk  through the center of the town and everyone and I mean everyone that I passed had stared at me (I thought that I had something on my face).

So after a shower and a change of cloths the old guts start grumbling for food and I decide to go and find a restaurant where hopeful I may have a small chance of not getting food poisoning (not the easiest thing to find in small town India).

as soon a I walk out of the door of the hotel the staring starts again, next thing this guy walks over to me and asks if he can have his Photo took with me, "Ok if you want mate whatever floats your boat" 20 meters down the road the same thing happens again and again.

so to cut a long story short it turns out that this little town just doesn't see tourists and one of the few TV channels that they can get is 24 hour WWF Wrestling and they all think that I am a famous Wretling star from the USA       (I new I shoudnt have got all them tattoos),

I tried to explain that I was just a fat Technician from Liverpool but they wouldn't listen, so I spent 2 days walking around the Jungle on my own chasing the wildlife and trying to avoid the local Paparazzi (now I know how David Beckham feels)
