Well though the last blog entry was rather long, I had to end abruptly as we had to bolt back through the alleyways of the old city in the relative pitch black, due to black outs, and get a tuk tuk 4 km's back to the hotel, nosh up and get to the train station all in an hour. It was the alleyway's that worried me, but we made it out with a little help.
We actually had McDonalds as an easy way out for a quick dinner. Our driver was not impressed. Naturally there is no beef only chicken burgers. They were good. My favourite was the Chicken Maharaja Mac.
Finding our train cabin was tough and we almost had a few kittens when we thought we'd stuffed up. We made it on ok and settled in for another glorious 6 hour overnighter to Satna. Arriving early in the morning, we were picked up then it was a cruisey 2 hour ride to Khajuraho which is famous for its ancient 1000 year old temples of suggestive and erotic art.
We passed through some really nice country side. Looked like mountainous rainforest in places. I was so tired I was in and out of consciousness anyway.
Our hotel, the Greenwood, is nice but 4 km's out of town, which is a bit ridiculous. Anyway we know the tricks now 
We freshened up and watched the Australia vs India one dayer for the first innings. India did well, and went on to win the match by 8 runs - not long after I heard about Australia being outed from the Rugby World Cup by England. Tis a sad day my friends.
Anyway we dodged all the pre-paid tour nonsense and got into town. Its very small, which is quite a relief really. We then went and saw the Western Temples which are the best. The gardens are immaculate which really made the whole setting look amazing. There a lots of great looking arty photographs to be had. Naturally there are naughty pictures of women, men and other err beings in lewd positions and all kinds of combinations. There was a lot of giggling going on around the temples. Then we just retired to a restaurant overlooking the views and entered the chill zone.
Thats about it for now. More later. We have 2 more days here, then back to Delhi. Then not too sure what the plan is.
Will try and get some more photos up.
