The dreaded alarm clock woke us up at 6am. We only had to say goodbye to our friend's mum as everyone else had already left for the office. She very kindly gave Christine a small handbag as a present.
We ordered an auto rickshaw using our Uber app for a good price. Far better than we could probably have negotiated ourselves. He whisked us off on the 10km journey to the Gangwal bus station. We had hoped to catch a direct bus to Mareshwar at 8 o'clock.
We arrived at 7.30 so caught an early bus to Dhar, an intermediate station. In Dhar we connected with a bus to Mandu. Nice buses and careful drivers!
In Mandu we searched for a hotel. Online the prices seemed very high so we searched around to see what we could find. We found a small place for a good price before we explored Mandu. They had a funky old phone on the desk!
An historical city spread out along the road which runs through the centre. Fort, temples and palaces drew our attention as we walked from one site to the next. Snapping plenty of photos. It appears that Mandu is also on the pre wedding photo highway.
A leisurely temple exploring day in a nice little village. Some of the locals added on rather a lot to food prices but most were friendly!
In the evening there was a sound and light show at one of the palaces but we were a little confused which one. We decided to eat pav bhaji instead, followed down by chai.
We walked back to the hotel in the dark and chatted to some local ladies making their way home too.
