Pushkar/Jodphur



After a quick two night stay in Jaipur to recover, we were then on our way to Jodphur via Pushkar. 'Pushkar very cheating men' states our driver Arun, (something he says alot, without explanation), as the girls are roped into giving a large donation to a sacred lake.

Jodphur however seemed a little nicer than Pushkar. We were greeted by a sea of blue as the town is appropriately nicknamed the blue city. After stopping over night in an ancient havelli type hotel we then spent the day exploring Jodphur with a rather strange tour guide called 'Taco', or 'No fear' as he wished to be called. We spent the day touring the amazing fort which had a whole manner of activities happening that day, including local dancing and a tiny indian man jumping on a tight rope. We also explored another temple and the Unmaid palace, location of Liz Hurley's wedding.

After being stalked around the town by a rather strange internet cafe owner, and with 'No fear' unable 'to give advive on the town'??? we then decided to make it a one night stay and make the 6 hour journey to the desert of Jaisalmer.
