Trip to the Amber Fort for all except Julie & Dick (who have been before!), and an Elephant ride to the fort entrance. Much hilarity with hawkers throwing blankets and shawls up on to the elephant for you to look at, and buy or drop back. The vaguest interest attracts all their friends who then try and sell you anything else. The guide was great as he prewarned us with the correct price. Very dry and dusty, with the lake beneath the Fort empty. It has been empty for several years as monsoons have been very light.
Planning a trip to see a light show set on the Amber Fort tonight, if we can get a taxi (apparently sparce for such a popular trip).
