Samode Palace
Oh my god you can not even imagine in your wildest dreams the spleandour of Samode palace and the room we stayed in.!
We woke up the following morning hungovered and tired from lack of sleep ready to attack our second day which didnt require too much energy as we spent most of it in the car, after a "free for all noise fest" that night. By gosh the noise is indiscribable! I spent most of the night trying to distinguish the different sounds which, I kid you not, did not cease from 3am right through til mornin: beeps (an essential driving tool in india apparntly, I am sure teach it in driving school along with instinct and a deathwish), dogs barking, eagles, a "call to prayer" which lasted the better part of an hour, and the shrill of bicycle rings.
We journeyed south in the direction of Jaipur and had lunch on the way. I had my staple diet of Chappati, Dal, and Masala Chai (curry tea) Delph and Steph you have got to make some I will give you the recepie. We arrived to our over night stay at Samode palace in Rajastan st in a tiny desert village where the women wear these fabulously vibrant colours. I wont even describe the Palace as I can't find the words but hopfuly the photos will do it justice. Suffice to say, I felt like Princess Jasmin in Aladdin just before Aladdin comes up to her balcony on the carpet! Wow!
