JAIPUR PALACES. INDIA.
I could imagine myself slumping around on a bejewelled divan groaning at the heat, and dipping my hand in to splash water on my face while inhaling sweet perfume from beautiful flowers I’m sure I had some fabulous palace in an earlier incarnation.
JAIPUR RAJASTHAN INDIA.

DELHI. ART AND ANCIENT OBSERVATORIES OF INDIA.

SIAM AND FORMER GLORY. AYUTTHAYA THAILAND.
The best ones really are glorious but the heat never leaves them so by lunchtime my trotters were always scorchio (yes I know birds don’t have trotters but I am a bird piggy)
TRAVEL ETIQUETTE ACROSS THE GLOBE- THE TOP FIVE LIST.
After you ‘break’ them they laugh and join you in your silly acting in place of knowing the language, just bound by humanity and language barriers having been broken.
