A very noisy bustrip took us to the giant stupa, intricately and delicately carved with lots of animals and scenes from the Buddha's life. Our guide was the crabby Mr Joseph, whose explanation was rather hard to decipher, due to his soft voice, strong accent, apparent distaste for his audience, and the din made by everyone else. As a result, I'm still not all that sure what a stupa actually is - but it was very big and impressive, and the view from there over the surrounding countryside was gorgeous. Afterwards, we did a whirlwind tour of the Sanchi Museum, which I'm also sure was very interesting, but we were in and out at such a pace it was a bit hard to tell really ....
