Day 9: cf. Blog Title

Unable to resist an ice-cubed G&T last night, Hugo has found himself a victim of the local curse..... However, determined not to admit to his crime, at 9h30 this morning we were both lolloping up to the Amber Fort (just outside of Jaipur) aboard an elephant - of course, not a single other tourist in sight..... The Fort was indeed stunning (17th Century central heating & a/c inc) but it was great to finally have a hotel pool to escape to for the afternoon. Inspired by the day's weight loss and a few lengths, I managed to talk Hugo into a shopping trip: jackets & dresses to be delivered at precisely 16:00 on 8 Jan, The Imperial, Delhi. Results will be posted. Fittings were followed by a daily curry at a local establishment with the obligatory strip lighting, formica tables and company of the ever-earnest Peace Corps Movement.
