...in Pushkar we decided that we actually like our lives and DIDN'T rent the scooters. Instead we had a nice walk to the Ghats to watch the people bathing in the mornings. Was nice! Also we did a lot of shopping and had a look at temples etc and the monkeys climbing from house to house are also cute
After 2 1/2 days in Pushkar we took the Bus to Ajmer and from Ajmer we took the train to Jaipur, the "pink city". I don't know who gave Jaipur this name, but all I can tell is, is that its not pink. Its more... mnja... brown-greyish.
Also now that I recovered from my illness, David was lying in bed with fever etc.But luckily all the bad hotels were fully booked which means that we poor poor people had to take a more luxury one for 6 euros a night...room service, warm water, biiig bed, clean sheets, etc... and David could relax like a king.
On the first day (Tobi, another friend, arrived now too) Tobi, Julian and me bought a 5-sightseeing-premium-ticket and our sightseeing marathon began: first we went on the Hawa Mahal, a tower from which you could see whole Jaipur, the Jantar Mantar (an observatory) and the Fort Nahargarh, which was a very nice fort with a pretty amazing view.
But the coolest thing in Jaipur we left for the second day: The "monkey temple" in Galta :)
The riksha driver dropped us off at "Surya Mandir" (another temple) from were we walked up a hill, and around corners, a little bit more up, and further and down again, until we arrived in a valley which was fulllll of monkeys :) well and indians. If anyone of you has seen the Jungle Book then he can imagine how it looked like :) an old temple-complex, green mountains around it, trees etc, two old water pools and MONKEYS. On the temple, in the temple, on the streets, in the trees, and jumping into the pools. Thousands of them. So if you planned to go to India: visit Galta, its very nice!
Also we went onto another fort, but I forgot the name. ... but it was pretty :)
