A journey to India
This is the first trip done accompanied, with Ms M. K. , a fine travel companion.
1. Delhi
Delhi was vile: filthy, polluted and with scammers all over the place. Then it rained, transforming into a a mixture o mud and excrement. We left after one night.
2. Agra
Agra was also nasty for similar reasons, and we left after we had seen the obvious sights.
Rajasthan
General
The weather being almost always perfectly sunny, and never too hot, the trip allowed me to work steadily in Rajasthan (where we arrived after leaving Delhi then Agra): Jaipur, Bundi, Udaipor, Jodphur, Jaisalmer and Pushkar.
The architecture of Rajasthan is often very typically "Indian": golden hilltop fortresses, palaces, coloured temples and mysterious lanes.
3. Jaipur
Jaipur is a rich destination, with fine architectural sights and endless shops selling all manner of stuff. It is hard work, simply crossing the road is difficult because of chaotic traffic.
But Bani Park, where we stayed, a mainly residential quarter not far from the centre, is more manageable.
