Harry at Jodhpur
Hello! And thank you for reading this today! Right now I`m in Jodhpur and it is raining! (Raining? In India?) Right now I`m in a little bedroom on a computer. Today I have been to a fort*. The fort was called Mehrangarh fort. It had been Civilised quite a bit and we got to the top by ele (you would think I was about to write “elephant” but no, I`m afraid not.)Vator and it was really SCARY up there. If you fell off you would not end up like that lucky Scotsman who fell down a mountain and didn`t get injured. Instead you would go like this when you landed. SPLAT! With extra blood and everything. So anyway, at this so-far-boring place it is about to get interesting. Because in one room in specific, there were lots of daggers n` guns. There was a double barrelled shotgun, a knife that had three blades. (this had an interesting purpose) what you did was you tucked them all in the middle blade and when you stabbed someone you then pulled something and then all three knives came out inside chopping the victim in half!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! L So anyway there was another knife and it had a gun attached to it. We also went to a mausoleum where a Maharaja’s son had built a monument to his dead father on the site where he was cremated. Story has it that two peacocks, well actually, one peacock and one peahen, flew into the fire during the cremation and so they built two monuments to the peacocks too. And right now my absurd sister has just come into the room and told me she`s found something that I don`t want to miss. I`ve just come back and it turns out it was my sister`s matching giant cricket. It`s 30cm long and like my sister, absurd. (Just kidding, it’s actually quite cute.) well that`s all I can explain today, so goodbye!

*WARNING: the next few sentences are extremely hard to explain. All that I can describe the fort as is a hunk of metal, cannons, swords, GOLDJJJ, guns, knives and a few important places and people.
