Waxing Lyrical

I had intended to share with you over the next couple of days some of the film music and 'representative dance songs' of Rajasthan I picked up while in Udaipur. But that was when I thought I was going to be at home over the next couple of days.

Unfortunately the b****rs at Virgin Atlantic had a different idea. They cancelled my flight this morning and I am now coming back tomorrow with Emirates via Dubai, including what I am sure will be a delightful nine hour layover between flights, arriving in the UK on Tuesday. By the time I finally make it home I will have less than 24 hours before heading off to Brussels.

So the planned cultural treat will have to wait. Instead here are a few of the exhibits from one of the other cultural highlights of my visit, the Udaipur Wax Museum.

And now the theme song from 'Mannequin'. How wrong they were.

    Love the waxworks. I think that's quite a flattering one of Mr Bean.

    1. If you look carefully you will spot the handwritten sign with his name on. Obviously nobody could work it out without being told.

    1. I hadn't noticed that before you mentioned it. Very odd. Perhaps it is for their protection (or to stop them escaping)?
