07: Jaipur

After a day in Mussoorie we headed back to Dehradun to catch a train to Jaipur, but when we arrived the train station... guess what.. no tickets - "the train is full, sir"... wh00t? - anyway, we managed to find a bus back to Delhi, and from Delhi we took a bus to Jaipur... The night bus we took to Jaipur was again an A/C bus that was supposed to give some heat in the cold night, but again, no heat, so I cached the cold :S - I should have been a bit more prepared for the cold north :)

The first day in Jaipur went really great, we hired an auto rickshaw for the day and visited a lot of places: The Amber Fort, another fort (don't remember the name), a monkey temple, and we got to see an "elephant farm":

The "elephant farm":
It's one thing to watch them on tv, but a completely different experience to stand by one and touch it... there was another full grown 40 years old male elephant by this one.. I managed to pet that one too ^^

  2. India er kjent for å ha verdens nest største tognett etter Kina.. trodde jeg ^^ Det var ingen gulvplass heller, og taket... jeg ville likt å se deg prøve det - du som er så glad i kulde ;)

    Det kommer sikkert flere bilder etterhvert, kanskje av de to andre gærningene også (det må godkjenned vettu)
