Saturday 24th November

Our tour started at 0900 this morning with a day time visit to the Amber Fort (via the pink city) which was so fascinating we did not leave until midday - and when we did, it was for another fort called Jaigarth Fort where the worlds largest moveable cannon is housed. Very impressive but also very difficult to view without being hassled by an Indian Army security guard who seemed to also have a part time job as a tour guide!

On the way for lunch we stopped for a quick photo opportunity at the lake palace and then went to Jantar Mantar which is an ancient astronomical observatory. Well, Tim had to have some fun given the shopping Mhairi wanted to do!

Toured a few shops but the carved elephant that Mhairi wants eludes her. So now we've had dinner (bet you can't guess what that was!) and now we're retiring before the return flight to Delhi tomorrow morning where we will chill for an afternoon before travelling home on Monday morning.

Last few blog posts to follow in next 48 hrs or so.

Blurry!

Found a couple of Americans to take a photo of us at Jal Mahal (The Lake Palace) in Jaipur, but we're a little uncertain of their photographic skills! A full day blog post to come later.
