Jodhpur - Blue City
Hello and Greetings from Jodhpur,
We arrived yesterday evening here (see below, rueckdatierter entry)
This morning, after a fairly hard but good night, we were off sightseeing tour.
The first was the local Fort, undoubtedly the most impressive of the tour and, according to guide books and the most impressive Rajastahns.
have where we spent the whole morning, and might well have to stay longer. Here are
even get some quarters, and the view over the blue houses of Jodhpur is unique.
The houses here are painted blue, as they say is to protect them from mosquitoes. However, it has its origin in a scheme of the local Maharaja, who had long ago paint the houses of a religious group in blue. The reason was not discrimination but the highlight of this building, because these people were particularly appreciated.
today are all sorts of building light blue. The view is very impressive.
We have then seen the tomb of a Maharaja, built by his wife. Almost the opposite of the Taj Mahal. Also in white marble, but much smaller.
last we were in the palace of the current Maharajah. This is now half the 5 star hotel and the other half of the residence of the royal family. In addition, a small museum, which we have seen.
After that we were still
shopping in the city. Saris, Kashmir shawls, Indian clothes at low prices.
All in all a very nice day. The weather here is hot, today it was over 30 degrees. In cold nights it is not surprising that I have a cold.
Thanks to our local guides and helpful locals, we still found an internet cafe.
morning we set off again, back to Jaipur (since the trip to Delhi is too long). On the way we will look at us the Amber Fort, which is also well known.
also will pay the Rambagh Palace in Jaipur we visit, a deluxe hotel nightclub :-).
Depending on arrival in Jaipur we can make it even into the Internet Cafe, otherwise I log in Delhi again (if things work again since then ...)
Sorry for my lack of necessary food or the excellent recipes and ingredients, but I am in Calcutta try to get hold of both. Yes there using Anindos family is available.
Greetings from this small Indian city (only about 1.3 million inhabitants).
The smallest of our journey ... (Villages along the road where we had lunch, etc. excluded)
Greetings from Jodhpur
the master lord
