We left our lovely tents in the Garden Palace after a breakfast al fresco and rode 110 km, mostly on bigger roads, with the usual variation between quiet countryside and busy towns.
I am getting so accustomed to the extraordinary sights, sounds, and smells of Indian roads, that it felt like a routine day of cyclotouring!
The temperature is now very pleasant; above 10 as we start out, and climbing to 30 by noon. Some of the roads are well shaded by trees, so very pleasant riding. We are also eating all our meals al fresco.
Today was Saturday, so different activity in the streets, although everything is open and many kids are traveling to/from school. We heard loud music in many of the villages we passed, suggesting some kind of celebration.
Our hotel for the next couple nights is a far more humble "palace" than some of the earlier ones, but a pleasant country retreat.
