Jaipur 2

We spent the day in Amber Fort in the northern part of the city.  After taking an auto into the center of Old City, we jumped on a local bus (20 cents each) and took the ride up to the base of the fort.  It was a beautiful day and we had a great time exploring the palace and then taking the long hike up to the topmost structures of the fort where the cannons and weaponry were stored.  Also at the very top in one of the big cavernous rooms overlooking Jaipur was the beginnings of what had to be the most extravagant wedding we've ever seen.  We were sad our camera battery died about half way through our day, but some pictures we managed to take before..

We ended the day wandering down M.I. Road looking for a recommended restaurant call Moti Mahal Delux.  It was good but not great, we'll have to try Preeti's home cooking for dinner tomorrow at the guest house. One more day in Jaipur then we're on the road again heading to Pushkar.
