Did we mention how much hard work this travelling lark is? Well, we decided we needed a mini-break so we headed to the hills and Mount Abu with the other Indians for their hols. Mt Abu is about 4,000ft up but is like a wee seaside town where you can induldge in all those holiday treats. So we hired a pedalo and drank slush puppy!
The only differences being that all the other pedalos on the lake then start heading towards you so they can take another photo! And, you don't get signs saying rowing boats are limited to 12 people!! Bizzarely, you can then finish off your weekend trip by buying a gun at the market - air rifle, pistol whaetever takes your fancy - and they look real! - we're not going to bother though.
We have also been keeping fit and went on a 9 mile trek into the hills this morning - no mean feat in this heat. We were on the look out for local wildlife and did see a few - peacocks, mongoose, kingfisher and a few monkeys. But we weren't lucky enough to see a panther or bear - although, we did see some bear poo! Or at least so we were told - you see a lot of poo so it can be hard to tell.
Back in town this afternoon, Graham decided to refuel and had "brain curry" for lunch. This was goat brain and was very mushy not like meat at all - but he seemed to like it!
Taking it easy tomorrow then back to the desert on Saturday....

So now it's been 5 days has Graham's intelligence increased thanks to the curry? Or is he more like a goat? xx

Haven't noticed any improvement with G's brain power but he has grown a "goatie" beard,but this could just be coincidence.
