The weather suddenly remembered it was August and the sun scorched down from early 'til late, and the place was absolutely thronged. Only my second time there, Fionn's first, and he was absolutely thrilled. Big hit for him: the tortoises (although he insisted on calling them turtles); big hit for us: watching the elephants taking a shower on the Kaziranga Forest Trail. We also managed to get him take a nap in his buggy (a rare occurrence) which meant we had a whole day out and about. It makes such a difference not to have to plan to go back home for his nap, it feels like you have such freedom :)
He also had plenty of opportunity to find his feet, so, for the hardcore Fionn fans, a real treat lies below:

Another epic journey,
A definite mile-stone,

The date of this great journey
For historians to quote,
Was on Monday, July twenty,
After thirteen months of growth.
