Bundi

We're in the small town of Bundi after a couple of days Christmas shopping in Jaipur. India seems to be a bit lame on the shopping front in general - most "arts and crafts" are not of the highest standard and it can be difficult to picture things out of the context of an Indian bazaar (i.e. sat in on a mantle piece in an English lounge, next to a carriage clock), so I hope our relatives will not be too disappointed ;o) Bundi is a pleasant place, comprised of lakes, old havelis and crumbling palaces, and is where Rudyard Kipling wrote much of the novel Kim. The journey here was a little laboured and multi-staged, leaving us pretty pissed off by the end. But we're here now and it's pretty chilled - I guess we'll stay for a few days. No broadband once again.
