We had lots of fun here, first arriving at about 5am after a night-bus. We took a SLEEPER bus which I think would totally catch on in Canada, although here in India the roads are made up more of potholes than pavement so sleeping is somewhat of a misnomer. Our tour book said that this is called the white city because of the white-wash they use on the buildings, and you can definitely see that from the Monsoon Palace on the hill.
We've only been here for two days and already I feel like I live here. :) This is a fun little town and there is a RIVER of water, compared to the parched city of Jaisalmer that we just came from. Today we hired a rickshaw driver to take us around the tourist sites - you can see some of my pictures here:
So that's it for now, we're planning to rent a motorcycle tomorrow and drive into the country to see another fort, and maybe some more Jain temples. We have our train and plane tickets to get us to Bangalore on the 1st of February, and we can start the southern part of our Indian adventure.
I'll drop in again soon!
