... to socialise, apart from at the hotel. The next day i went to Galta, otherwise known as Monkey Temple- a hindu temple high up on a mountain with fantastic views over the city. Got my photo taken with some Sadhus (holy men) and will upload them when I get the chance. Must admit although I received the tikka (dot on forehead) and blessing at the temple, it didn't really do a lot for me- not sure what I was expecting but it didn't particularly move me- I'm guessing I ...

... and down when they saw us! We'll be very annoyed when we're home and dont cause any stir walking down the streets! the best one was the kids saying hello white! every 3 seconds someone wants to sell us something or bring us somewhere! its very funny..sometimes ;)
what a horrible week though! fainting and sick! must say the toilets on the train fairly disgusting! fair play to adele though she played the role of florence nightinggale very well. so glad ...

... we did not get too badly hassled, but I felt better being in a small group. We picked up some fabric bags, beads, cushion covers, scarves, and looked at sandals. It was fun. We also saw preparations for Holi, festival of the colors in Rajasthan where apparently people throw paint on each other (colored water). I am actually looking forward to the festivity, even though my tour leader seems very nervous. The best part was we took a couple of cycle rickshaws back to ...

... les gares ferroviaires et non routières. Evidemment après être arrivées à la gare on nous a dit qu'il n'y avait pas de train à 23H10 mais à deux heures du matin ! Génial ! Le problème c'est que nous voulions arriver tôt vers cinq heures du matin pour voir le spectacle du lever de soleil sur le Taj Mahal à Agra et là l'arrivée était prévu à 8H. Bon autre solution, nous repartons à la gare routière d'où nous sommes arrivées pour prendre un billet de bus. Perte de temps cons ...

... to confirm todays seats! Suggesting 9pm ish. Raj suggested we get there a bit earlier so agreed to go back 8:30pm. We wanted to go shopping for some jewelery, especially small enameled ornaments which Amanda knew about. So Raj took us to a place called Rajasthan Gems Development Corp where we spent an hour or more rummaging around and get a semi decent price on them. Should really have bargained more for, as only got about 10% - 15% off. Ben got earrings for ...

... Jaipur, normalement on doit visite un musee, mais etant pas fan des musees et le prix nous convenant pas pour une telle activite, nous allons au zoo!!! Et bien, c'est fait, on a vu toutes les especes que l'on devait voir en Inde, les croco sont bien laid soit dit en passant ... Le Lion et le leopard dorment et baloo est un ours noir, le livre de la jungle nous a menti ! Nous rencontrons des ecureils peu peureux sur notre route, ils mangent a nos pieds. Le zoo est ...

... market. 3) Do not see any gurus. I was not pressed by annyone to see this guru, but heard enough to get excited and brainstorm an article idea. What I wasn't prepaerd for was him telling me a bunch of generalizations that had a 70% chance of striking true with me mixed in with such bold statements as "your mother had three children". I have one brother and I'm 99.9% sure that there isn't any secret child living at home. Now here's the kicker: my ...

... ended up with a nice warm shawl and a cool pair of ornate leather slippers. For the most part we've resisted the temptation to buy every interesting thing we see because we will have to schlep it all with us. But every once in a while we buy something and store it in these smart little collapsible duffels that Robin brought. That night was another great dinner with the captain and tenile (I mean Mrs. Singh). Bal Ashram: A quick review of ...

... there prices up but this is extreme, to be fair though at least in this case the price rise is mainly sue to massive improvements to facilities probably funded by LP following tourists. Horrified at the expense i waste an hour an a half in the heat trying to find somewhere cheaper before giving up and getting a 500 rupee room. It's a great room full of things i don't really need,, like hot en-suite bathroom, a TV to watch the ...
