... up on, looking very pretty at 7.45 am so we guess they are the lady elephants. After 10 minutes we come to the conclusion that there is very little on offer in the old Town, and make our way to the entrance, it is there that we find out where all these elephants are headed..........<br> Amber Palace is built on a hill and there are 3 ways up. On your trotters, by taxi to the back door, or by elephant. Much as I am fond of elephants we decided to walk ...

... experiece is hardly a reason not see one of the world's more interesting places. Rajastan is a little more than just too touristy... for me its been a bit of a nightmare. Constantly stressful, constantly annoying, and while amazing in so many respects, within two days of arriving at Jaipur, we knew it was just too much. <br><br>Everyone is constantly hassling you, and willing to literally lie to your face (when you call them on it ...

So just to recap our time in Jaipur, we didn't do a whole heck of a lot. Most days went something like this:<br><br>Wake up around noon to 2:00.<br>Go walk to the same set of restaurants for some lunch.<br>Come back and watch some TV, maybe take a nap.<br>Go back to the same set of restaurants for some dinner and a couple of beers.<br>Come back, get online for about 30 minutes each, watch tv, and go to sleep by about 2 am.<br><br>The only real exceptions to this ...

... en heerlijk gegeten. De kinderen, en het waren heel veel kinderen, probeerden ons wat woordjes in Hindi te leren en wij probeerden ze wat Engels te leren. Het is ontzettend leuk om met de kinderen om te gaan want als ze eenmaal een beetje aan je gewend zijn komen ze ook helemaal bij je zitten en pakken ze je hand vast of leggen ze een hand op je knie, heel lief. Ze noemen ook alle nichtjes hun zus en alle neven hun broer. We snapten al niet dat ze steeds meer of weer andere broers en ...

... es muy facil perderse y pasas un buen rato dando vueltas y subiendo y bajando escalones muy empinados. Despues fuimos a un restaurante y el camarero fue a la tienda a comprar cerveza y la trajo al restaurante, ya que no tienen licencia para vender alcohol, solo puedes comprarlo en la tienda. Por ultimo fuimos a un centro al por mayor de textiles y alli ya compre algo, no tenia intencion ya que aun me quedan muchos ...

... or sweets, they'd be on us like, well, cheeky wee monkeys. Even Mr Singh has been careful to stay by the car: we have edible things lying about that they will go to immense lengths to get at. One of them, an older male, turns around on the steps of the temple, sits himself down and folds his arms when I point the camera at him. Can he really be posing? We spend about a half hour here, snapping them and enjoying watching the teenage simians dunk each other ...

... voor de kenners ;)) - Bellen en smsen van India nr Belgie goedkoper is dan bellen van Belgie nr Belgie?!?! - Er cirkelproblemen kunnen optreden met muskietennetten? (nevermind... inside joke i guess) - Een riksja-chauffeur altijd vr je klaarstaat... totdat zijn mama belt dat hij nr huis moet! - Je in India na een kleine week een treinreis van 6u al een korte reis gaat noemen ( amaai die reisjes nr brussel gaan volgend jaar vlot gaan!) - Tijdens een treinreis ...

After a five hour local bus ride from Bharatpur, we arrived in Jaipur, the capital of Rajasthan. It was a lot warmer here than the other places we had visited in India and a very welcome change from the cold. After settling in and finding an ATM (got lost several times and had to get locals to help us cross the roads - haven't felt more like a six ...

... little we could do (short of me starting a brawl), so you learnt to simply ignore them. It was the race thing that was harder. India was not pleasant on that aspect. In Varanasi, a young man came up and pointed at Danayi saying "You are too black! You are too black!" Flustered and not thinking my quickest I think I replied, "No, she's just right. She's beautiful." Yeah, that will show him. Often when we walked down the street, black and white, people would ...
