12 January Bundi

A short ride. But what a ride.

This was supposed to be a good road, however I was directed 3 times to the "olf road" and was it old.

Fortunately it was mostly me and the goats.

Despite the atrocious road it was actually a hellofagood bike ride.

The best part was however riding into Bundi.....at last it felt like an Indian town. And it was sort of warmish.

Got the usual bum steer from the Lonely Planet on accommodation but it has now been replaced by a Rough Guide. There are many unhappy people in India with the Lonely Planet.

However met a guy from Florida and we had dinner together (thanks Sean) at a nearby Hotel. Home grown organic food and cooked under Mum's supervision. It was great. So hear is the plug, and thank you Mrs Singh at the Nawal Sagar Palace in Bundi.

The town is great and only the pctures will show you that.

You will have guessed that India is far behind the rest of the world with Internet. In a word, bloody hopless ! How they can claim to be an IT nation is a sad joke.

Never mind, it was warmer.
