A gorgeous resort, palaces and snake charmers in car parks filled our day along with the "normal" road, traffic and driving went along with travelling in India. We stopped at a nondescript little diner along the way for lunch. Amongst a City, a touch of green and Of course (and enjoyably so ) was a stop to say bye to the ones from the Rotary Club of Alwar at a members home for morning tea, and to set us off with 2 vehicles with drivers to take us to the train sta...
