Then on to the Amber Fort, situated on top of a hill with spectacular view of the surrounding landscape. Palace was crawling with monkeys. Access to the palace involved a short auto-rickshaw ride then a trip up the hill in Jeeps. On the way back another snake charmer sat down very close to our rickshaw, opened his basket and started playing. i turned my back on the snake and squeezed into the rickshaw. i suddenly felt a sharp pain in my leg. i spun round to see the rickshaw driver had sneaked up behind me and pinched my leg. Everyone else thought it was hysterical.

Jaipour - The Pink City
Beautiful city 5 hours by train from Delhi. Train was basic but it did have Air Con - they left the doors wide open. Food on the train was great - vegi burger and good tea. Visited the Royal Palace which was stunning, lots of intricately carved stone. And a snake charmer with a cobra. The city was painted pink for the visit of Prince Albert in 1883.
