Slept in till 11.30 where I ran to the shop to get some bread for the omelet that I had ordered back in the hotel, Emer and I met with Lena and went to go see the City Palace, it costs 50 rupees to get in and a painful 200 for a camera, we went 3 ways in on the price of the camera charge using Emer’s Canon G10. Inside the museum there was only one point where they checked the camera pass we ended using all of our cameras, saving ourselves rs400.
We spent 3 hours wondering the halls and courtyards of the museum seeing pretty much everything from ancient weapons and horses with elephant trunks to painting with such fine detail you may want to use a magnifying glass to see the fine brush strokes.
The building and the pieces on display were very good and did kill 3 hours before hitting we hit up a local food place to fill up on samosas.
In the late afternoon we went to go see a puppet show, we took a tuk-tuk to get there and to be brutally honest the show was shit compared to what we saw last night, it was neither entertaining or funny and it just seemed half-assed. One crazy thing; during the last puppet performance everyone in the theater stood up and left the premises, it seemed both odd and rude, perhaps everyone was disappointed, but everyone to leave at the same time, beats me?
We walked back to the hotel picking up some street food along the way where I sat and worked on my some photoshop work and chatted for a while.
