Could’ve been worse: Turtle Island forced us (on our 2nd stay no less) to hear a presentation about their local school, get pitched for donations after trying to make us feel guilty, and then tour the entire island before bringing us to our bure. You’d love it.

Did I mention their bures have no air con?

The nicest one was Amanbagh.
I usually agree with everyone, but the crazy royal welcome at the Umaid Bhawan Palace in Jodhpur absolutely goes down as our favorite of all time. It was very impressive and extraordinarily memorable even if it a bit longer than I might have preferred.
