The 'sthan

Time for a bunch of photos with very little text, Take a break from that due diligence, grab a coffee and forget about reading for a while as you witness the glory of Rajasthan!

Stinky old Jaipur







The best thing about Jaipur was the glorious Raj Mandir cinema where we saw the funniest Bollywood movie ever, I'll have to tell that story in another post.

Now the little desert oasis of Pushkar, what a gorgeous little town, slumbering again only a couple of days after th camel fair which is apparently one of the biggest and craziest events in India.

















Udaipur - the place they filmed Octopussy. And now the place that shows that awful movie... in every single restuarant, on every single night. Sarah was extremely disappointed to learn that it was about James Bond and there was no actual giant octopus that came out of the lake and ate people.





The best part about the town was our amazing hotel room in an ancient haveli mansion. We spent most of the time hanging out in our amazing alcove. Gotta get one of those things in the apartment...
