Today, I am off to Cambodia for a small conference on Data Science and Finance, mostly finance, actually!, put together by a group of French and Cambodian colleagues and taking place in Siem Reap near the fabulous temples of Angkor Wat. Expect pictures in the following posts if I manage to stand the heat and humidity!

Again Khajuraho, with one of the hundreds of statues, in a warm sandstone that turns the figures almost alive.

Still Khajuraho, with another kind of visitor exploring the temples and their sculpture.

The visit to Khajuraho and its may have well been the apex of the week in India! The sculptures are all over the buildings, beautiful and well-preserved, the temple grounds are well-maintained, and one could spend a whole day going from one sculpture to the next…

During our trip, we visited the city of Gwalior, in Madhya Pradesh, another historically rich place that seems off the major touristic routes. All the better for enjoying it by walking around the ramparts of Gwalior Fort in the old city. Thanks to Gautami Shah, who superbly organised the whole trip, we ended up in a 17th century “bagh”, called Deo Bagh, run by a chain that specialises into heritage hotels set in historical places. A terrific opportunity, truly, and also the possibility to go running in the (chilly and misty) early morning.
