This morning we visited the Mehrangarh Fort, the Citadel of the Sun, built from 1458. Rudyard Kipling described the fort and its palaces as "the creation of angels, fairies and giants".

| Opium smoker in courtyard |

| Wonderful views of the blue-washed houses from the fort |

| Jaswant Thada - cenotaph of the Maharajas |

| Dinner at the outdoor hotel restaurant was chicken tikka, Hyderabadi chicken (in a tamarind sauce), Jodhpuri aloo (potatoes in fennel and yoghurt)and two sorts or paratha bread. Had two local deserts, a ghewar (cake) and a saffron and cardamon custard. |
