After Karauli, we moved on to Bundi, a rather pretty (and friendly) little town. We stayed in the Bundi Vilas, which had (as we later discovered) amazingly helpful staff. Not only did they leave us in charge of the Rooftop
Terrace Anti-Monkey Defence System (a rifle) when they went downstairs to
retrieve more gin, but when Tim decided (in the best of colonial traditions) to
take to bed with a fever, they arranged the doctor's visit, and offered to let
us stay as long as necessary until he was recovered. In the meantime, I explored
the town alone.

| Lots of the children only knew the English words "Hello! Photo! One rupee!" but these two girls were polite and just wanted to see their pictures on screen. |

| Whilst Tim was ill, I made a new friend who fed me chai. |
 |
| This is what he was working on. Can you see the signature? |
 |
| ...there it is! On the ear-ring. |
