We arrived to Jaipur late at night from Agra. As usual, at the next moment when exiting the station we got surrounded by cycle and auto-rickshaw drivers who were insisting that walking to our hotel (which by the way is located 500 meters away) is not possible. Nice try to confuse naive tourists. Not us.
In the morning Jaipur met us with the pink streets crowded by pupils, who were running back and forth making noisy street traffic even more rushy.
Some monumental buildings in the old city. Val in front, begging for food from a woman
Colorful bazaar with it's textiles. There is everything you need, maybe you just don't know about it yet
This is how women choose saris. Sitting on the wide bad-like couch they are choosing the color, material and bargain the price while enjoying a cup of Indian chai with milk
Hawa Mahal or "Palace of Breeze" is really airy and seems more like a marshmallow pie
Guess who is the real Indian here?
Secret yard
City view from one of the Palace towers
Helen's new "OM" mantra bag. Sometimes pretty useful especially at crossing the streets
Iswari Minar Swarga Sal Minaret is the highest building in the city
The view from the top. It was really peaceful place visited only by pigeons
"Hey sir, could you please move your table? We can't see the gates." And he did!
Nice dolls at the restaurant
We have not been far in our Indian cuisine exploration. Thali it is
And spiced milk chai
On our way back home we saw a two tier bus
Mobile sweets shop
Spotted some spotted piggies
And a man, who was very excited to meet us
