Arrived in Delhi at about 11pm. The honking is back!! cool to come back when you're much more accustomed to India! It doesn't seem half as hectic or dirty as when we first arrived - only 2 weeks ago!! Some electrical probs with the original hotel so had to stay at another one. Had one...

Camel ride in the desert

It was very sad to leave the Fort. It was such a neat place and we'd had so much fun there. We headed off late morning for Pushkar - and our new form of transport - a camel!! The two hour jeep ride was a bit rough, but the country side is beautiful! it's very rural and brown, but the...

Jaipur - the pink city

After a 6 hour bus journey we arrived in Jaipur. In the afternoon we went to a carpet making factory. The man tried very hard to get us to buy a rug, but we resisted! Although 5 others of our group didn't have the will power! Also stopped at a jewellery place and got some topaz earrings for...

Pink (Terracotta) City

Took a 6 hour bus ride from Agra and arrived in Jaipur mid arvo. Journey not too bad, still lots of beeping on the main roads. Couldn't see what the driver was beeping at as he had a curtain blocking the view out the windscreen - probably a good thing. Leaving Agra, we had the wonderful...
