Golden Triangle Part 3: Jaipur and More Palaces- Feb 2-3, 2011


Fighting through "traffic"


 Jaipur, the Pink City, is all about the palaces and we definitely got to see some amazing ones.  My favorite was the water palace built out of a waterproof marble foundation and subsequently surrounded a man-made lake so that it would stay cool in the 45 deg celcius summers.  Kim´s favorite moment was when an elephant gave me the eye as it walked past us and turned and sprayed me with a combination of spit and water.  Our guide said it meant I was being blessed by Ganesh.  So I feel lucky?
