The tent was closely zipped and I had a good look before getting in! I was more worried about spiders! Not going to harm me but I don't like them! The bigger animals don't come near and tigers are the only real danger and they are, unfortunately, incredibly rare in that area. So no actual real danger. It was more dangerous when we camped in the bush in Namibia ( south west Africa) a few years ago. Then we were told not to leave our tents by ourselves at night.

I have to say that for me the hardest part is squatting for the loo! Westerners don't have the necessary muscle development these days! And when you know the ground is covered with leeches so you really do NOT want to overbalance........!

(((Bette)))). I know things have been c**p for you for a few years now. Hope so much that the effect of this much vaunted improvement in the US economy trickles down to you and DH.
