I took leave of my new friends to head back to my hotel to try once again to sleep off my headache.<br><br>At 7 p.m. I was awakened by the guy at the reception of my hotel to receive the train ticket that I had requested for my trip to Ajmer tomorrow.

... case whose left side was innocuously filled with rahjastani dolls and toys. On the right hand side, there were only three items. At the bottom was a large slab of stone marked "sample of soft stone." Above it hung and irregular hunk of charred rock labelled, "piece of flame star, Bhinmal Jalore," and finally, above that, there was a horn of the type that you would expect to see on a young stag, with the leadingly imprecise "torn from woman's ...

... gifts). Our second day in town we had some pancakes, which are actually crepes, for breakfast and then headed to the Fort. Entrance to the fort: 20 rupees if you are Indian and 250 rupees if you are not India (a theme that continues throughout the country).

Anil proudly showed us a list of languages that he could speak, even if it was only a few words. He also passed around pictures of other westerns he had had over to his home. We met his three well behaved children then sat down on the floor for dinner. In india ...

EN: The highlight of our visit to Jodhpur was the Mehrangarh Fort. This is really an amazing place, definitely the most impressive fort we visited in India so far. Besides being very well preserved both outside and inside, it offers truly amazing views over the city and its blue-washed houses. After, we also visited the Jodhpur market, and a few other ...

Jodphur is a much larger city than we expected. We stayed at an excellent guesthouse that provided some R&amp;R during the high heat - 110 degrees in the afternoon and was right at the base of Meherangarh Fort.
