Bundi 15 Dec 2012

We arrived in Bundi about lunch time.  Our accommodation is called Bundi Haveli Hotel.  The interior is beautifully decorated and the room is large, light and airy and has excellent hot water.  What more could you want.

Beautiful decor throughout 

Enjoyed our lunch of vegetable pakora for Jim and soup and Indian bread for me.  We seemed to have settled for this as our norm for lunch.  It is light but enough to keep you going till dinner.























After lunch we headed out to look at the sights.  Oh no! you say not another fort and temple.  Yes and no.  We decided on the palace only as the fort was up a very steep hill above the palace.  You can imagine Jim's reaction and mine when they were hiring out sticks to intimidate the monkeys on the climb up.
The palace is 17th century circa.  It was mostly in ruin but parts were open to wander around.  We followed two Indian families around, we were the only ones in there and they seemed to have taken us under their wing, making sure we were following them and going the right way.  It was very caring of them.  We chatted about wives and children as best we could.
