Early morning walk at 7, or should I call it morning walk. Back by 8. Jyo and I decided to walk it to the Dolls museum which was about 15 minutes by walk. It is an initiative of the Rotary Club of Rajkot and houses some 500 odd dolls from various countries - perhaps all continents - USA, UK, Scotland, Gambia, Brazil, Greece, Alaska, Malaysia. Dolls, doll houses, cars and many such. The entry was a strict procedure by a lady who keenly examined our identity proofs before letting us in.

After spending about an hour there we walked to the Ramakrishna Mission which for some reason was closed.

We legged it past the Rajkumar College which has these stately grounds where I saw one of the students practising horse riding.

Chai at a tapri and some dhokla and we headed back to the hotel. For lunch we went to the TGT and enjoyed a lovely Kathiawari meal.
Back in the room for a bit and Chattu, Jyo and I visited the local zoo - the Pradyuman park.

Chattu and Jyo seemed quite happy to watch all the animals. Back to Tea Post where we drank some tea.
