En route to Jaipur

Having exhausted ourselves visiting the sites of Delhi, it was time to move onto Jaipur, the capital of Rajasthan, aka The Pink City.  It was a nerve racking 7hrs dodging and weaving  the oncoming traffic, animals and potholes, but we made it!  Will probably write more on this topic in our summing up of India. 

We pulled into a service station to grab a bit to eat and there was a little girl (pic 4) busking, if we can call it that – it was so funny. We have a video but we cannot upload it because of the slow internet speed here.  The two boys in the 4th picture were begging for money, instead we gave them a large packet of biscuits, you would have though they had won the lottery, they scampered off jumping and screaming with joy – very moving – you want to give them the cloths off your back.

We will have many stories and videos of our travels that we will share with you on our return.

    Sweet story about the biscuits…you get a sense of the value of a pound (or rupee or whatever). Loving these pictures, particularly all the cows.

    Sam : Emma-Jo has been offline for a while but thanks to muggins here spending all day over there while your little brothers killed each other noisily in the background she now has no excuse. If she doesn’t post comments in the next couple of days then come back here and slap the back of her legs :)
