On our way there the driver asked if we could stop at his relations village that is on the way. We agreed, as long as it did not take to long, since we didn't want to reach the forte when it was too hot, what with it being high up and exposed.
The village was small and his relations bred horses which he proceeded to display to us with grea enthuisiasm. Although it all started getting a bit over the top and bothj me and Ben had to ask them to stop before they whent too far with parading the horses and making them do all sorts of uncomfortable looking tricks.
The women here kept peering at us but weren't allowed to leave the house. Everything here screamed "old school", from the Ox and cart, women carrying water on their head and men lazy as all hell. Needless to say we found it interesting and worth a visit but hinted at being on our way.
After the village we ended up at Chittogarh Fort which is about 30km wide (basically a small enclosed town in every sense). It was very hot, about 40C and was hard walking around the fort especially with all the monkeys loose.
Later that night we had dinner at our hotel and I was taught how to play the card game "shithead", which I then proceeded to win many games at (Ben and Amanda were not ammused).
