Before the looooong drive.....

Well its morning of Day 3 and i'm sitting in my hotel room ready and packed and about to drive to Jaipur.  Yesterday I was sooo tired that I didn't write a huge amount about the day - its amazing how much you are tired at the end of it all, I ended up falling asleep on the bed for an hour before dinner.

So a group of 6 of us headed to dinner to a resturant on a rooftop of a nearby hotel that our guide recommended to us - the hotel was very posh! I think it must have been a 4 star.  Anyway it was lovely and it was really good as we all got to try each others dishes.  I ordered some kind of Kashmiri with potato which was really really nice with some rice and naan.  I had two beers and felt quite drunk after them - I think it must be the heat and tiredness.  I can't believe i'm in India and i'm able to have curry every day - even twice a day - without feeling guilty!!!!  What a dream!!!

I don't think I've mentioned the heat yet - its HOT! but not tooooo bad.  I think it must be about 30c but its very overcast but also very humid so you are walking around with a lovely coating of sweat on you.  Its rained a little bit but very small showers and not too much so its ok so far!

I haven't managed to try an Indian breakfast yet - so far its been toast which is fine for me for first thing in the morning.

So the plan for today is a 6 hour drive by private bus (who knows what that is going to be like!) with stops along the way to Jaipur.  When there Kuush is going to take us to a place to get a really really good Lassi and then we will go to a Bollywood movie!!!  After that its dinner and then bed....:-)


Managed not to get any mozzie bites so far and no sunburn - although no tan either!!!!
