A ‘rest’ day. We take little cycle rides up into the nearby hills to explore the area. The hills are inhabited sparsely by tribal people whose children flee from us when they see us.

Back at the Palace we set out to re-visit the nearby shire of terracotta wish fulfilling horses. A strange sight as the sun sets.
