What went well: Vijay, our guide, is fantastic. The driver was always ready, the car was clean. What did not go well: there was no cold water readily available in the van or any kind of way to clean hands. Umbrellas were not available. The museum tour was below average and not what I had expected. Seeing how silk is made was also not what I had expected.
