Orccha and Bundi

We took a night train to Jhansi. We were a bit better prepared for the cold with long underwears and double pair of socks. I still got the chills and the runny nose though. It was still a short night since the train stopped too many times and people do not always get that they are getting into a ''sleeper'' train! We then jumped into an autorickshaw for an 1/2 hour ride to Orccha. The city is small and is barely mentionned in my guidebook but a friend had mentioned that it was worth it. It is really!! We spent quite a bit of time at the Cenotaphs site while the sun was going down. Beautiful!


The next stop was Bundi which is somewhat similar to Orccha. The paintings of the Palace were were very impressive since the Palace was built early 1600. I also really liked the street markets and the people we met at small stands. They answered questions and made me taste what seemed strange looking like sugar cane sold as big squares and peanuts snacks. That is also where i started to feel that i should start shopping.
