Jackal, monkeys, camels, bats, peacocks, cows, oxen, dogs, goats, egrets, pigs, mongoose, deer, water buffalo, chickens, sheep, horses, but not a single cat, big or small- no, we're not back on safari, these are the animals we saw on our long drive from Gwalior to Bundi today- most of them being in the middle of the road or pulling something along it quite slowly. Our driver, Harry, who we've christened Prince, did a great job missing most of the animals.
Before setting off from Gwalior, we had a personal tour of the wonderful Usha Kiran Palace hotel grounds by the head chef.
We've just arrived at Bundi in another fabulous hotel in the walls of the ancient Bundi castle, and have the whole day tomorrow to explore.
Location:Bundi
Swimming pool looks nice, especially since it's blowing a gale outside and chucking it down with cold, cold rain. Nothing much happening here in the village. A tiger was seen yesterday from one of the Alton Water hides, but that's pretty normal for Tattingstone. The Usha Kiran Palace hotel looks very beautiful and comfortable. Food good? Are you eating meat or fish? Stay away from the ice cream.

We've been stuffing ourselves silly since we got here- so much for losing weight. Mostly chicken, a bit of mutton and of course plenty of veggie. Had a river sole at the Kirin which was great. Should return looking like a puddin'
DeleteI will book you both in for a day at Colchester zoo, Tiger sighting guaranteed!!
