jaipur

We are on day 6 of our travels through india and all is well apart from my tummy. I (roz) have been in bed for two days with delhi belly and am lookin alot skinnier because of it. Seem to be over the worst of it though. dan got a course of anti biotics to clear it up.. he is good to me!

We are currently staying in a place called sunder palace which a friend (thanks chris and barb!) recomended to us. it is beautiful with hand painted ceilings and walls, art works, massive comfy bed and all for 600rs (7 pound) well worth the money when you feel as bad as i felt! we went shopping today in the most amazing place like an indian camden market we bought two tunics, two baggy pants, two scarfs, some bangles, some hair dye and transport to and from for under 15 pounds!!! had to do some good haggling though! it was good cop bad cop all the way.

we have a tour booked tomorrow to see the amber fort, monkey fort, the pink city and jantar mantar??? mantar jantar ??? a big art sculpture/star charter in the centre of jaipur. i am looking forward to getting out of my room but it is going to be very hot outside so its factor 50 all the way.

hope you are all enjoying reading about our travels. we appreciate all the comments as we are both missing our loved ones and it has hit home that we will not see anyone for a year! so keep them rolling in please!

  2. Glad you like Sunder Palace - say hi to Abhinav & Abhineet if you're still there. Roz - I used to get stared at all the time but it turned out that most people are just curious - especially since you're so fair. Exotic even! Just try putting your hands together like you're saying a prayer & smile & say Namaste & watch the change. I generally just used to do it to the women though - a great way to interact with them a little bit. Loving the blogs Barb :) x
