Nice garden at rear - grt view of farmlands and hills nearby - got a
hammock - blogged lying on hammock with a nice strong breeze
rehydrating every day with a couple of glasses of lime and soda -
feels grt after a ride
going for dinner - will try another gujrati dish - the hotel owner
seems to be parsi / bohri
