Hummm, the bus journey......where do we start?!?! Oh I know, it was late!!! But that's okay, we're used to that...<br><br>Firstly, we heard it before we saw it! The horn didn't beep, it played a delightful song...which the driver continued to press (on a regular basis) for 7 hours, which wasn't annoying in the slightest!! Then we saw it.....a bright orange monster headed towards us - "uh oh, don't let that be ours" were words ...

... the city as far as the eye could see. It took us two hours to get around the buildings many levels and interesting artifacts such as jeweled weapons and battle gear. We rounded the tour off with a small gallery of traditional paintings of India from the 18/19th century on loan from the V&amp;A. Outside we followed the path down the steep incline to the fort garden which was really beautiful, it had lots of plants ...

It was a charming old Haveli (small palace) that had been well restored, and our room was simply palatial compared to those we had had thus far.
