The Road To Jaipur. Thursday, Nov. 8th

Another great breakfast and then onto the bus for a 270km drive to Jaipur (took 7 plus hours)!

Our route took us past miles and miles of areas reflecting the poverty here in India. As we drew nearer to Jaipur, the view from our bus changed.....deserty but some well tended farmland areas plus a mountainous range (actually, more a rolling hills range). Shared the road with cows, pigs, goats, sheep, camels and monkeys!!!!!!

Our Hotel is across from a Lake, again very pleased with our accommodations.

Took in the night market in the Pink City. Masses of people, sharing the sidewalk with "sacred" cows!!!

Our senses had enlivened with the smells and sounds!!

Back at the Hotel for dinner. It is now 11pm and we have a 6:15am wake up call!!

  1. Very happy to hear all is well. I was starting to worry when you hadn't posted anything since your arrival.
    Jaipur is lovely. I hope you got to see the "Wind Palace".
    It looks hazy - is that smoke or pollution?
    Stay safe and enjoy your adventure.
