After lunch I stepped out with Safi at 3 pm knowing that was the limit of Chattu's culture trip. I headed to Sayaji Baug to see the Baroda museum. The Sayaji baug garden is beautiful, large, has a small zoo and also this beautiful museum.

I took a long time walking around the museum and spent more than an hour looking at lovely sculptures, paintings, stuffed animals, idols, Greco Roman figurines, an Egyptian mummy and even the skeleton of a blue whale that washed up in the coast near Baroda in 1942 or sometime - massive.

Loved the Baroda museum. I saw the toy train and school children whooping as they went along.

From there Safi took me to Kirti mandir which was for some reason shut.

I hung around there for a while, took some pics and headed back to the hotel.

| Chai - they pride themselves on it |
Late night chai with Moin after dinner. Very satisfying day.
