Day 14/15/16: Another day, another Nawab.

After a couple of days at the extremely chilled (in every sense - Hugo went to bed in his woolly hat) Bijaipur Castle

, we spent a wonderful night at the castle's lakeside tented camp (post an 18K cycle with the Nawab to get there), where B won the wildlife photo competition with this:

As the only guests, we were utterly indulged - heart-shaped 'cutlets' for breakfast inc! In other news, we've finally parted from Madhav, our driver and guardian over the past 12 days, and are now on our own, and back in civilisation - a beautiful room in Udaipur's City Palace complex, with a terrace overlooking the famous Lake Palace hotel. An extremely noisy wedding celebration is underway beneath our balcony as we type - the bride is just coming into view aboard an elephant, time to go and watch, before high tea on the lake.
