Later start this morning as we have
a quick visit to the markets of the Pink City and then off out to the Rambagh
Palace for Sunday Lunch.
As we are relaxing in the veranda
waiting for Mr Khan to arrive we have a little monsoon rain, or rather a 15
minute downpour of epic proportions!
Luckily being Scottish Mr M is not fazed by a little rain and whips out
the emergency ‘Team GB’ umbrella.
As we make our way gingerly through
the puddles to the car Mr Khan proclaims that we have had some ‘good rain’ this morning. On leaving the hotel we then have to battle
through the flooded streets of Jaipur and take a rain-check on shopping and
head to the Albert Hall for some pre-lunch sightseeing instead.

Although this is an impressive big
building in the middle of Jaipur, Mrs M renames it ‘Pigeon Poo Palace’ as it is covered in thousands of pigeons all
intent on making their mark on Mrs M… As
most of you know Mrs M hates pigeons
and luckily survived unscathed.
Sunday Lunch at the Rambagh Palace
is a real treat and we are most impressed with the local Rajasthani
specialities of Papad ki Sabza and a delicious Biryiani. The chef even comes out for a chat to see if
we are enjoying our meal, which has been our best in India so far.
Mrs & Mr M
