Jaipur

In Jaipur we visited the Palace of the Wind, The Observatory which had amazingly accurate constructions built to determine the time, observe and pinpoint the planets, The City Palace and Amber Fort. Jaipur is a big city with a population of around 6 million and the Old City is incredibly busy.

The four of us at Palace of the Wind.
James taking a turkish bath at Amber Fort.....oops no water!
I was very brave and not only had my photo taken with this cobra but I actually touched it as well...!!!! and lived to tell the tale!
We rode elephants from the bottom of the hill up to Amber Fort....and it was great fun!
Amber Fort. The walls leading away from the fort reminded us very much of The Great Wall of China!
