Gone skiing

Norman and Karen arrived and we had a wonderful night having dinner and catching up in the garder of the wonder Samode Palace, and the next morning we were off to the Amber Fort which is a wonderful preserved place and learned more of the days of the Hindus and the Moguls. It is a deserted complex but you can imagine what life must have been there centuries ago as you approach the ramparts up the steep hills on the back of elephants! You haven't lived till your elephants overtakes another while passing an elephant coming down the hill! Exhilarating to say the least. We had a particularly good guide while in Jaipur and he casually reported to me, while waiting for the other family members to arrive on their elephants, that they have changed the work days of the elephants recently. When questioned why he reported one elephant got so angry at his handler he stomped on a tourist. \
The Amber Fort is stunning and in on every to do list of India. I can see why!
