With Nina in town and Eelco away we decided it was time for our annual trip to Bannerghatta park, south of Bangalore. In the park you can do some sort of wildlife safari. As last year we almost got held hostage in the bus until we had tipped enough and we had too much attention we asked the drivers to join us. With 2 moms, 5 blond small kids and pretty Nina we figured we could use some help & bodyguards.
The safari park is quite nice, set up in different sections for different animals, in healthy conditions and with what appears to be an ok management system (except for the bus drivers it appears!)
After the safari, and still being a little cornered by the driver for a big tip, we visited the butterfly garden.
It is mainly attractive due to the water, fishes and pretty flowers.
99% of the butterflies in there look like this
And the other 1% like this - if you are lucky enough to spot it
The more intriguing things in there are the butterfly cemeteries
And the kids happily watched an educational video on butterflies in Hindi, or Tamil, or Kanada
After that it was time for a Nutella picknick
With the caterpillars - this thing is about 1.5 cm diameter and 15 cm long!

We had a great time and so did the kids and our nannies….oops sorry….cannot ever call them that; our drivers -:0
