Hi
We're back in Jaipur after successfully completing our project at Sharda Primary School. We helped to build a boundary wall and dug around 50 holes for planting trees, as well as weeding over 6ft tall weeds! The temperature was almost unbearable at times, but we were lucky to get a 3 hour break from 12 to 3pm, when we could go back to our camp and cool off in the pool. We worked from 8am to 6pm. Our food was cooked for us by a chef from our hotel in Jaipur, and we learned how to make masala tea and chapatis, so look forward to some when we return!
So, we're now officially on R&R. We're relaxing and shopping today, going to Amber Fort tomorrow for an elephant ride, then going to the Teej festival in Jaipur, travelling to Agra on Wednesday with some sightseeing en route and seeing the Taj Mahal at sunset, then off to Delhi on Thursday/Friday for more shopping.
Just a reminder that our flight is on Saturday 6th August, flight VS301 which arrives at London Heathrow Terminal 3 at 1755. We should be through customs/immigration by 1830 at the earliest. See you there!
Drinking masala chai at breakfast.
The end of our project - sweaty and tired!
