... the town, even at a distance this palace is such an impressive building. Sadly the rain and the mist are still with us, and look like they will be there for the day but that is the luck of the draw. As we get closer to Amber we notice lots of elephants on the road all being ridden, with purpose toward Amber. We arrive at the parking area, and proceed to walk in to town, where it looks like Elephant City!! They are everywhere and quite a few of them had ...

... you all about next time. <br><br>Jaipur is a bustling city, hot, lots of cows, and cow ****, lots of dogs and monkeys. We went to what is known as monkey temple and had a little guide with us who was kind of cute until he demanded money as they all do but it was cheaper to have him than an official guide so not too bad... <br><br>See some pics of our time there hope you like them. <br><br>R xx

... Frequently we are approached by people who ask to take a picture with us or just want to chat. &#8220;Thank you for coming to my country&#8221; is one of the sentences you often hear. Some of the guys in the picture even performed a little welcome dance for me. These are the moments when you realize that at the end of the day, travelling is not about sightseeing but about encountering people. And these are the moments when I start to understand why so many people fall for India.

... la hora y tambien los signos del zodiaco, muy interesante. Tambien fui a ver las tumbas de los antiguos reyes de Rajasthan, tambien las de sus 13 hijos que murieron a la vez de un brote de gripe, muy impresionante ver los mausoleos tan pequenos. Despues fuimos a las afueras de Jaipur a visitar el Fuerte de Amber, camine un kilometro subiendo las escaleras hasta el fuerte, estuvo muy bien y el sitio tambien ...

... soap' about monkey gangs that Andy and I were addicted to before we left. The monkeys are everywhere, playing in the temple's pond, sitting on the steps, clustered in groups and eating bananas. No -corection, first peeling them, then eating them. I've never seen them this close before. They're amazing, a little shy of us but not so shy that they are scared. They simply keep a few feet away at all times. But then, we have no food. If we were carrying fruit ...

... oude man mag nemen als chauffeur van een niet-gemotoriseerde riksja (tenzij je er nix op tegen hebt om even uit te stappen en te helpen duwen bij de minste helling...) - Je in Jaipur goed kan shoppen (shopaholic in action) - We een boekenclubje zijn begonnen. Jammer van dat extra gewicht in onze rugzakken... - Indiers op de trein zeer graag nederlandstalige boeken lezen (misschien had het te maken met de indisch-getinte afbeeldig op de cover?) *boek: Ben je ...

... le meme qui a servi de billet ) decoupe cette fois en forme d' assiette. Il rajoute du citron, brasse le tout et soupoudre d' epices. C'est delicieux, mais j' ai les levres en feux. Je redescent tranquillement par le meme chemin, un enfant et son cerf- volant m' accompagnent un moment. Le ricksaw m' attend en bas. Nous reprenons les memes ruelles; Les porcs de tantot ont presque termine leur carcasse.

... any woman who travels in India has to or she will go insane in the first three days here. If a group of two or three young men got a bit too obvious with their stares, I would step into their line of view and give them my best death look (which is quite good after 6 years teaching high school). They would most often flush, turn away hurriedly, and walk away as fast as they could. When surrounded by a group of 100 men in a train station, all leering, there ...
