Woke up around 7:00 today and got ready for a day of touring around Jaipur. Had a bit of breakfast in the hotel and then met my guide and driver.
We made a brief stop to take a photo of the Wind Palace, which is a nicely designed red colored building in the town area. We then proceeded on to the Amber Palace, which is at the top of a hill overlooking Jaipur.
We toured around the Amber Palace. This guide was good and provided a good mix of information and time for me to take photos. After the Amber Palace we carried on to the observatory where there were a number of large instruments for telling the time and making astrological predictions.
We then visited the City Palace for another detailed tour. Stopped for lunch and then visited a couple of workshops for textiles and gems. Didn’t buy any jewelry but did buy a couple of custom made tunics, which they will apparently deliver to my hotel by 9 tonight.
Then headed back to the hotel to try and get the blogs up to date. Managed to get most of them posted! Then went for a pre-dinner drink on the rooftop bar. After the drink headed to my room for a brief stop before dinner and got a call that my order had arrived. Went down to collect the items and turn back up to the room to try them on – fit well and they turned out pretty good!
Went for dinner and had a quick bite before heading back to the room to pack and get to bed early as I have to leave the hotel at 5:15 tomorrow for my train to Delhi.
