Hello!!
I have uploaded more photos ( Bikaner, Jaisalmer, and Jodhpur)
On the 17th we had quite a busy day! First of all we went to see a very posh hotel (also where the Maharaja lives). It was very nice, although we were only allowed to look around the museum and not at the actual hotel. Apparently the rooms are around 500 pounds a night and it is the most expensive hotel in Rajasthan.
We then went to this temple thing (i'm not entirely sure what it was, nobody thought it was nessasary to tell us, and all the signs were in Hindi) but either way it was very pretty, tt was made entirely of marble.
We then went to Jaisalmer fort (there are lots of forts in Rajasthan) where 'Brave' - a bollywood movie, was being filmed. As we arrived they were charging through the front gates on horseback, they did this a few times before there was a huge commotion as the lead role arrived. We managed to spot him (in fact he was pretty close to us) but unfortunately we were'nt allowed to take any photos. We then carried on with our tour around the fort which was very interesting. On the way into the fort there were the handprints of the Maharaja's wives that the left on the last time that they walked out of the fort ( The maharaja died in battle, i think, and they were on their way to be burnt alive next to the body of the king).
After the fort, we walked back to our hotel and had some shisha.
Today we travelled for about 6 hours to Udaipur. we haven; t had the chance to look around it yet, but tommorrow we are doing a whole day of sightseeing so i'm sure there will be lots to write about then
Hope you enjoy the pictures.
xxxxx
