Cornflakes with hot milk!

Sobering

Houses got very gradually better as we got further from Delhi.

A cow grazing.

Poor in the countryside must be better than poor in the city.

Jaipur, no-one wears a helmet in Delhi, 500R fine in Jaipur. Women in sari's on the back of mopeds everywhere.

Wasn't keen on my original hotel, bit hairy getting from its backstreet to a tuk tuk to say the least. My plan was to go to the best hotel where I could get internet and book another. So ended up at Rambagh Palace - GOOGLE IT - £400 a night, asked for recommendation of somewhere half the price and it turns our a corner of their acreage is a conference centre, £40.

I can use the Rambagh, but it is smarter than I had anticipated when packing, fortunately I had the power pumps and a smart pair of Aquascutum trousers - from the Katherine House £1 shop.

So I strolled along my own private path to the palace for tea.

And back home again.
