A day spent on the road. It’s so sensory that it’s difficult to convey, I’m doing my best. Xavier passed the time by counting cows. His final tally was 740.

Fatehpur Sikri
Some time in the sixteenth century a king had three wives and an additional 365 not wives. After taking 12 years to build a city from scratch, he and his entourage lived there for a bit and then promptly ran out of water. In a massive courtyard elephants used to execute prisoners by stepping on their heads. That was the kids favourite bit.
