Jodhpur

Sunrise view from my guesthouse

Meherangarh Fort

While in my opinion Jaipur is undeserving of it's title "the pink city," (the old city is more of a peach/orange colour) Jodhpur is definately "the blue city." Being an indian city, it is of course filled with touts, rickshaw wallahs, and hustlers. The scam artists of Jodhpur however, are amateur and pedestrian when compared with the hustlers of Jaipur... It's pretty slack, although I did get hit by a rock thrown by some punk kid on a roof top today. While walking around the extremely well preserved fort and the colourful bazars was a very interesting and enjoyable experience, I suspect my best memories from Jodhpur will be the lazy afternoons and evenings relaxing, reading, and taking in the views on the wonderful mosaic tiled rooftop of my guesthouse, directly beneath the fort.

Really enjoying reading of your travels and the great photos. I was envious of your visit with the Dalai Lama! Lots of snow here in Canmore now and the Nordic Centre is in full swing. Happy Travels
