    We loved this place. The place is so unique and lovely; it was quite a pleasure to stroll through the magic of this architecture. Everywhere else in Rajastan you will find incredible paintings and an overwhelming sense of color but here you can relax and image yourself in the stories of 1001 Arabian nights. We would definitely recommend this place.

    Am Morgen verlassen wir Delhi und damit erst einmal das Großstadtgewühl - um am Mittag in Jaipur anzukommen. Der Hauptstadt von Rajasthan, die für unsere europäischen Verhältnisse mit ihren 3 Millionen Einwohnern eigentlich auch eine Megacity ist - hier hat eine Stadt dieser Größenordnung dann doch eher dörflichen Charakter.

    13.-14. mars
    Þann 13. mars vöknuðum við eldsnemma, eða kl. 6:00, til þess að fara í Tígrisdýra safarí í Ranthambhore national park. Það var mjög kalt um morguninn og við vorum í þokkabót að keyra um á opnum bíl og ekki nægilega vel klædd, það lagaðist þó þegar sólin kom almennilega upp. Við urðum ekki það heppin að rekast á eins og eitt stykki …

    We arrived in Jaipur via Mumbai in the evening after our first internal flight given the considerable distance by train. I thought I had lost my shoe which had been lodged in the side pocket of my backpack but was thrilled to then find it on the conveyor belt and interpreted this as an auspicious start to our stay in Jaipur, city of the Rajputs! …
