After 7 1/2 hrs of being stared at on a bus we finally arrived in Jodhpur although we almost missed the stop! straight away were haggling the auto-rickshaw driver as he whacked the white man premium on our fare. He took us to Hotel Govind (lonely planet recommended) and we were not disappointed. The rooms are small and basic but thats over shadowed by the friendly people and the chilled out roof top restaurant (which serves beer, horray!) After a good nights sle...

We eventually arrived in Jaipur in the afternoon and made ourselves comfy in our not so nice noisy hotel. Mr Uma took us to an astronomy show which may have been good if the narrator didn't only speak Indian! He then took us to the Vishnu temple where we witnessed a very holy congregation which made us feel a bit out of place, it was about 8pm by now so we grabbed some food (laura had a thali). Early the next morning we made our way to the Amber fort and had an...

A monumental day! Our first experience of hole in the floor toilets on the way to pushkar......lovely! We arrived at yet another extravagant hotel in Pushkar, checked in and straight out to the camel safari, the owner of the camels saw our pastey White skin and immediately whacked a 2000rupee fee on it (£28) our book says £7 so after about 1minute of haggling we paid that instead! It was a fun experience that lasted 2 hrs, thats all our backsides could take! We...

On our way to the tiger reserve we stopped off in the deserted city of Fatephur Sikri, it took 12 years to build and the population was marched from Agra, but they were only there 4 years due to lack of water supply! The place was huge and eerie. We had a tuk-tuk ride to the top which was fun. The next stop was Keoldaeo national park where we sat in rickshaw and did some bird watching (very peaceful might I add).After another 4 hours we arrived at our hotel, whic...

Foggy morning in Agra! Our guide advised us to go to Agra fort in the morning and the Taj Mahal later in the day once the fog had lifted. The fort was amazing, it overlooks the Taj and was home to the emporer that built it! After the fort we looked at the ancestors of the taj builders, their selling marble tables for £8k! (they couldn't understand why we didn't want one, after all we are from England! The Taj was breathtaking, the most amazing thing we have ever...
