Jaipur

INDIA | Thursday, 13 May 2010 | Views [461]

So I've left Delhi and went to Jaipur for a couple of days ( I'll put up stuff about Delhi at the end, I'll be going back there for an extra day before I fly).

So Jaipur is pretty cool. Various forts overlook the city. All very grand. Giving amazing views of the city itself. saw a sunset from one of the forts one evening. You can see the haze of dust and pollution above the city, the sun just disappeared into the haze in the end rather than dropping off over the hoirizon.

The centre of Jaipur is painted in a pink colour, sectioned off by a number of gates. Very busy. Very strange to see. Traffic is crazy. 

As ever there was the random cows walking around mingling with the people, plus a few camels thrown in for good measure.

On my 2nd day I visited an old observatory. housing a massive sundial which could apparently calculate local time to the nearest 2 seconds. 2 days I figured was enough and it was time to leave.
