Castle life
Today's photos are dominated by some of our hotel. I don't normally do this (a room's a room really) but there are a couple of reasons why I have here. Firstly, I think this will probably be the nicest hotel we stay in on our trip, such is the beauty of the place (even better in the daylight), and secondly, I must have yesterday eaten something disagreeable, meaning I have not actually left the thankfully extensive grounds of the hotel. Keeping facilities nearby has been a fairly high priority.
They've done a lovely job of restoring the building, with peaceful courtyards, terraces and roof areas. There are a number of surprises too, including a swish reading room as well as a sometimes overly-friendly emu. The pool looks lovely and felt, er, refreshing when I dipped my hand in. Unfortunately I don't think I'll be giving it a proper try today now, which is disappointing (sorry coach)!
Whilst I have been busy convalescing indoors, Peter has apparently been feeding e-numbers in the form of sweets to the local village children, who followed him around on a walk. He was also being set up with a number of young Indian ladies (/girls) who are on the lookout for an "English boyfriend". I guess it's slim pickings for British men in this rural location so they have to take their chances when one appears!
