We Like Crocodiles

Day 21

There was no rush to get up early this morning, as we had decided on a more convenient form of travel back to Chennai: taxi - yay!  We had time for a leisurely breakfast and then Gagan took the kids swimming while I packed our rucksack.  The taxi arrived at 11am.

The driver was uncharacteristically careful and not the least bit aggressive.  Thirty minutes later and we had reached our scheduled stop at Madras Crocodile Bank.  http://www.madrascrocodilebank.org/cms/
This is a phenomenal conservation centre, that is expertly run (NGO) and dedicated to research and education. We had taken R and M there years ago, and wanted to recapture those precious moments.  S was so excited to see all the crocs!
















After about 1.5h roaming around the zoo, we bought some snacks, hopped back into our A/C taxi, and headed into Chennai for our 5:30pm train.
