Hi
We are now in Jaipur, Rajasthan, where the temperature is a little different from Manali. We waited 3 hours for a coach from Mandi to Chandigarh, which didn't arrive due to a landslide! So, we got a taxi instead, which took over 6 hours. We just made our train, with 10 minutes to spare! The sleeper train was an experience, where most of us managed to get the best night's sleep in ages, despite the smells and noises from our fellow passengers. We arrived in Jaipur and then went to the Bissau Palace hotel, which is amazing! It's a former palace, and it's like staying in a museum. Many of us wish we could stay here longer. The pool is a great escape from the intense heat.
Today, we had a day of sightseeing in Jaipur. We visited the City Palace, The Water Palace, The Hawa Mahal, Gaitore, a textile factory and also fitted in some haggling!
We're off to start our project tomorrow, so may not have internet until 2nd August. In the meanwhile, enjoy these pictures:
