Had breakfast at the peacock then got a rickshaw to Hawa Mahal near the city palace. Will still feeling under the weather with a cold.
Hawa Mahal (1799) is a stunning palace that was designed to allow women to view the outside world without being seen so therefor keeping "purdah". The place is a beautiful labyrinth of corridors, ornate windows and lattice work that all allows one-way viewing.I feel like this place and the astrological park both look like pictures from those puzzle books or Dali paintings.
Wandered through the bazaars but we feel the shopping is a bit disappointing probably because the guide books describe it as a shopping mecca but we think other places were better so we should have bought more before.
Back to our gorgeous room for Will to chill out and get better.
