We did not want to go to Jaipur, Vikki told us in Jodhpur that is was 'same same' with not much to see, but due to the holiday period a train to Jaipur was the only thing we could find to leave Jodhpur. Jaipur sucks, Vikki was right, it's just a polluted chaotic mess. We hardly saw anything or took any pictures, we just wanted to leave, so we found a bus to Agra where the Taj Mahal is and off we went. Next: Agra

Namaste! We are in Mumbai and we are overwhelmed, and I believe we will be for the most part of our month here. Unlike any other place I have been, here you don't start your day thinking that there could be a new adventure awaiting, here, you know it is going to be an adventure.
