Welcome to Rajasthan

After Taj-Mahal, anything coming is susceptible of being worse. Despite of this, we continued our journey looking for new places and experiences. And thus we entered a new region of India: Rajasthan, famous for the rajputs and maharajas, and whose territory is mainly a desert.

Fatehpur Sikri -the Ghost City- was our last stop before Rajasthan. Unfortunately, it was very stressing. Locals were continuously trying to become our guides to show us the couple of sights worth of a visit. It was just couple of hours there, enough for catching a glimpse of the beautiful Mosque -Mezquita-, and run away to the next place: Jaipur, the capital of Rajasthan.




We found good news and bad news. Bad ones that our reservation had been given to other guests with similar surname :(; good ones were that we got a suite room instead, and a delicious free Christmas dinner :).




Our stay in Jaipur was short, just couple of sightseeing spots, including the Palace of the Wind and the Amber Fort. And of course, we got an elephant ride :). Jaipur's Old City is somehow special, as it's all painted in pink colour. Jaipur, for this reason, guess...... is called the Pink City! :p

PS: Kinnunens making friends in 1st pic :), Fort Amber is 2nd, and 3rd is obvious :p
