Punch and Cricket don’t mix – Orchha, India

Orchha

Drove to a town called Orchha – a tranquil little place full of ornate temples. A bunch of locals appeared from nowhere out and helped me cook dinner then settled in to watch us getting remarkably drunk on very cheap punch made with moonshine and fruit juice.

Those who made it out of bed by 8am were press-ganged into playing cricket against the local kids. We were losing horribly so reminded them to go to school at 9.30 so we could get some rest. Wandered round town a bit in the blazing sun – was probably the hottest day so far.
