This story and Story 86 were not originally part of this section. They were added after we had written the Volume 12 story “Shanti’s Hideaway.” This later story tells us about Shanti and the crocodile she had shot many years before.
This particular location has some history within the Letters Series. It is a small lake, set away from the public areas of the Game Reserve. Of most interest to us is the small picnic area enclosed with a fence, which is set in a small bay where the bank slopes down slowly into the water making it ideal for swimming. Being so remote, it was also a good location for more sexy activities such as skinny-dipping and nude games.
The first time we see this location is when Joseph and Lizamoa do some outdoor nude photography in Letter 14. We return to this location when Mike and Shanti arrive in India. They have some nude swimming and sex games in Letter 49. A week or so later they return to this lake with the other two New Zealand couples but things had changed as a large crocodile had taken up residence there. In this story, Letter 54, Shanti shoots the crocodile in what had become more a hunting story than a sexy story. Now we have this story where the site is chosen for a new tourist venture within the Game Reserve, a place designed to watch the native wild-life without disturbing them. This building is named “Shanti’s Hideaway.” In Letter 86 Shanti and Mootie will have some fun with the figure of Shanti sitting on the crocodiles back. Much later, in Volume 11, Shanti will return to this location to visit the building that bears her name and houses her crocodile.
This is not the first time Mootie writes for the Letters Books. He did the second story when he and Hansini partner swapped with Brian and Mega. Letter 78 - An Evening to Remember. Part Two.
