This morning we were woken up by the sounds of chanting and music from the town - when I looked at my phone to see what the time was it was 5am! At first I tried to get back to sleep but it was too loud - I looked over at Peter who was sat up in bed not looking very happy! We must have eventually drifted back to sleep as it was a bit of a shock when our alarm went off! After breakfast we went on a camel safari - as I was too scared to ride on top of the camel (they are really tall!) we opted for the camel cart instead.
They took us through the town and then out in to the countryside, where we stopped at a farmers house for a cup of chai tea and a look round before coming back - it was very interesting. Seeing as we were quite a novelty just walking round the town, I am sure you can imagine what it was like riding through on a camel and cart! We had kids running after us, people shouting hello from their doors and rooftops, people stopping in the street to have a good look, people chuckling to themselves thinking 'crazy fools' - I felt like the Queen of Sheba sitting in my cart waving to everyone.

On our way back we came across this car crammed with people - we have seen this a lot!
The people at the hotel wanted us to have lunch before we left but we couldn't stomach another 4 courses so we made our excuses and left. Our last stop before we return to Delhi is the Neemrana Fort Palace which dates back to the 15th Century. The Fort Palace looks lovely but a room is, shall we say, quaint and authentic...

We spent most of the afternoon walking around the fort palace - there are so many nooks and crannies and the views were lovely.

In the evening, we had dinner on one of the outside terraces which was very nice.
