13318 5 Location 476885 <p>Arrived at The Rambagh Palace late morning and decided that we would have a complete R7R here for the rest of the day. This wasn't a hard decision to make as the hotel was a Royal Palace turned into a hotel with 30 odd acres of grounds and was simply stunning. I blogged for a few hours in the afternoon to catch up on Udapuir while Marie went to the pool. Decided to have a bit of a snooze in the afternoon as we have had several really full on days and we have a big guided tour coming up the next day. </p><p>We booked into the terrace restaurant to watch the dancing entertainment in the evening. Surrounded by the soft lights we had a table on the lawn and also had a view of a tent that had been erected in the grounds for a group that was being entertained that night. The tent looked magical with lights twinkling in the night and you could see all the beautiful rich colours and the staff in their stunning costume. Our waiter told us that the group would be arriving on camels, horse drawn buggys and Elephants and he would let me know when it would start. </p><p>The dancers were completely different from the show we were given in Udapuit and I was glad we made to effort to dine at this time. really skilled dancers. Ordered our meal from an amazing menu and settled back to watch the entertainment - cosmopolitan in one hand and camera in the other.</p><p>Then amid a famfare of trumpets the visitors stared to arrive at the function. Like nothing I have ever seen before!&nbsp; The camera ran out and I video'd the whole procession. The buggys, camels and elephants were decked out extravagantly and it was utter magic.</p><p>The hotel service was superb. The next day they made us a packed lunch to take on our tour and the staff were - as they have been everywhere - uttely delightful and helpful.</p><p>This place was like stepping into a dream.</p> 2006-12-01T05:35:27-08:00 285212702 2006-09-09T17:00:00-07:00 0 -9223372036854775790 179029 2978258 13318 0 181740 0.0919243960716354 2006-09-09T17:00:00-07:00 Published 51.0 What an Amazing Place 2006-12-01T05:38:07-08:00 87294 0
