It was Diwali, and we had a long and very full day travelling from Agra to Jaipur across the flatness of Rajasthan. So much to fit in! I can't do it justice in this post, so may have to come back later with more details. We explored the deserted (but very well preserved) palace of Fatehpur Sikri (occupied only for 14 years by Emperor Akbar), had lunch at the Raj's palace at Bharatpur (now as luxury hotel), inspected the Chand Baori Stepwell at Abhaneri before arriving in Jaipur to a lavish Diwali Festival dinner.
