Today we travelled over to the lake on the other side of the fort, another dirty holy lake, this one full of rubbish. That said, the really big cat fish in the lake are doing their level best to eat all the rubbish and are doing a grand job! We were amused to find pedalos available for hire and what better way to see the lake than taking a trip on it!
The lake has various temples in the middle of it, mostly inhabited by hordes of pigeons.
The pedalos came in all shapes, ours was a frog and this one we saw was particularly good looking:
Sitting pretty in our frog. We were assured it was the fastest of the ‘fleet’, I can assure you it wasn’t fast!

We found a really nice Italian restaurant for dinner, which luckily served wine – albeit at extortionate prices! The restaurant sits high up on the city walls and just under the fort. A very atmospheric place to eat.
