Namaste The day didn't start too well for me as I think I could have reached curry overload limit and spent most of the time up till 9.30am in the bathroom suffering from a bit of Delhi belly!!! We met Raju and set off for our day around Jaipur which started off at the Amber Fort just outside the city. We had options of taking an elephant ride or jeep up the hill to the fort but decided to walk as for the first time since Delhi the morning had started off quite...

Namaste OK folks not too much to report today as we took the car from Pushkar to Jaipur, the capital of Rajasthan. The good thing today was that we travelled on a smooth road all the way to Jaipur as it is the main highway between Delhi and Mumbai. Although the road was wide and smooth the driving skills were still lacking with people doing crazy stuff and we still had the cows to steer around!!! Two really good bits of good news is that our original hotel was...

The narrow streets are lined either side by shops selling every clothing item and handicraft you could imagine, there are also people selling marajuana by the roadside too.

We started our day with breakfast on the hotel rooftop where the sun was beating down on us and it was only 8.45am!!! We had a great view of the lake this morning and as usual all you could hear were car horns. Then it was back in the car (it has been nice to have 2 car free days) for our long d...

Namaste Last night we could not resist the temptation and ended up on the highest rooftop restaurant in Udaipur watching Octop**** !!! Yes a bit kitsch but good fun, there was a nice warm breeze and good views of the palace and lake as well.The only downside was that the food was not as good as we have become accustomed to!!! Our hotel is in a great location and it only took us 1 minute this morning to walk down to the ghats where the women gather on a morning ...
