Left the girls this evening in the shadow of the Taj....joyful well wishes and lingering embraces are all that remain of my time with the two lady-doctors-to-be. Unfortunately the local tribes are on the warpath....the Gujjers areutilizing guerilla tactics to try and force a government reappraisal of caste status...blah blah blah....this means ...

11. leden FATEHPUR SIKRI - JAIPUR Po budíčku hledáme autobus do města JAIPUR. Tentokrát se LP zmýlila v označení místa autobusu - tak o dva tři kilometry. S bahohy, které se zdají tězsí kazdým dnem jsme to sice usli, ale ramena bolely. Po cestě nás opět zastavilo několik riksů a koňských povoz...

Jaipur, just a quick tour of Jaipur. It was nice but busy and I had a bit of a random time there. The first night I met two girls who were going to dinner in the revolving restaurant so I went there with them but they had to catch the train that night. I still had my driver (if you don't mind - hee hee) so he brought me to the Palace complex and...

Por la manyana visite el fuerte de Jodhpur. tal y como habiamos quedado, que es super imponente, ya que esta situado encima de una colina, y la ciudad queda a sus pies. Desde esta altura se puede apreciar aun mejor el azul de sus casas en el caso antiguo. Visitamos rapidamente el palacio, en donde actualmente vive alguien importante (algun princ...

After arriving earlier than we thought in Jaipur, we went to the Guesthouse Naom recommended (after being stalked by a Rickshaw driver/physiologist "i feel you have had bad experience with Rickshaw drivers"). The first room was rubbish so we stretched out the extra 50p to have a TV. The extra 50p goes a long way as the room looked like it was in...

Jaipur is known as the pink city and was a pretty cool place in the middle of Rajasthan. The feel of Rajasthan is different to further east, much more laid-back and so many temples and interestin sites. The city itself is huge, but the main part is the old town which is enclosed within pink walls and every building front inside must be kept the ...

I went around Jaipur, the pink city, and also I went out to Amber. There are elephants that take you up to the palace. Then it was back into the city to see the palace and a few other sights. I also watched a bollwood movie, Fanaa, at the Raj Mandir theatre.

One day in Pushkar was quite enough we moved on to Jaipur to visit more Forts..... by this stage you can imagine we were all Forted out, but we still visited 3 more. One of which the Amber Fort, built on a hill top, with a maze design inside, that allowed the Maharaja to secretly visit whichever wife he wished to see discreetly. Also in Jaipur, ...

Jaipur is currently having a gabage strike. All the garbage workers are on strike and from the looks of it, they have been striking for more than a week. The town is covered in garbage. I have never seen so much garbage in a city ever. The funny thing is that we have gotten so used to garbage on the streets that it didn't really phase us too muc...

Arriving in the pink city we met some locals who dropped us at a decent hotel and then picked us up later to go for beers on the street outside a pub, then into the muslim quarter for delicious food. Sweet. Stayed a couple of days here exploring the forts and sights around the town. Will fill in more details later.
