I know I'm skipping areas and blogs...but I seem to never get these things done!
Anyway, Walter & Maury & Pete & I spent some time in Bundi. Smaller town, lots of interesting architecture, old buildings, temples, large palace and fort. Interesting and fairly comfortable place for the traveller. Not the easiest/most comfortable to get to & out of, the food at the roof-top & other restaurants is nothing to write home about, and the guest houses are comfortable but generally pretty run down (welcome to India...). But! The best chai I've had in India can be found at Krishna's chai stall!
Krishna ('Shiva Power!!') took us on a couple of trips outside of town. The first was to a small Shiva temple, a Dugra Mata temple and a small village (where we provided great entertainment).
These pics are from that first excursion. It was a great day, Krishna's wife provided us with Paratha's, pickle and potato curry for lunch & we had dinner back in Bundi in Krishna's home. Great day out.
