light switch mania

I am in the pink city of Jaipur, which is maharaja territory  but the Amber fort impressed me the most. The days are hot 39 degrees but not uncomfortable.  i have stayed in several hotels now and they have all had the same lighting system. In my present room there are 15 light switches. I have sussed out that there is always a master switch but it takes half an hour to work out which one it is. Even  then it doesn't help when you wake up in the middle of the night and press every switch you can find in the dark.

This morning I was woken up at 5 am by drums, very loud , very repetitive.  After 10 minutes I made a cup of tea.

I am now eating fruit and curry for breakfast,  skipping lunch unless I am on the train where hot curry is brought to your seat, and curry for dinner. Occasionally I find Indian red wine which can be very palatable.

French railway workers are striking 2 days in 5 for the next few months in protest against Macron's reforms.  To launch these strikes huge protests were organised in Paris but oh dear the strikers couldn't get there because the trains weren't running due to strike action.

stormy weather

Last evening there was a huge storm, lightning,  wind and torrential rain in Agra. This morning the devastation was clear. No power, 50 dead and hundreds of trees down. On the way to the taj mahal  I could see crushed cars, flooded streets  and so many trees.   Then out of all this destruction I arrived at the taj mahal. It doesn't matter how many pictures you see  they cannot compare to seeing this exquisite building rising up above you.  I have waited so long to see it and  it  is far better than I could have imagined.
