India cycling stage 12 to Himatnagar

We were all reluctant to leave the delightful Udai  Palace Hotel, and enjoyed breakfast in the lovely water table courtyard. Our first enjoyable al fresco breakfast. The mornings are warmer now. We rolled through the smoke of the morning fires until we were well out in the country. Then we could feel the sun, and took off outer layers. 
We rode on back country roads through the hills, and joined the NH8 highway for the descent into the plain. We then turned onto small roads again through quite lush farmlands. Very pleasant riding. We were in no hurry, as we knew that tonight's hotel was basic.
Saw lots of cattle and buffalo; being herded, pulling carts, idling about, some with painted horns.
