DELHI & JAIPUR 28th - 30th October 2005

 

After getting up at stupid o clock for our flight to Delhi, we arrived on time and went out for a very quick tour of the city.  Delhi was just a place for our plane to land really but it does have a certain amount of interest to it so we rushed around what we could before getting a quick nights sleep before our journey next morning to Jaipur by car.  Jaipur was a fab place that we sadly didn't have enough time to see properly, the handicrafts markets were unbelievable.  We will be going back here for sure.  Full diary to follow, hopefully!
