Jaipur- the orange city???


Time for a bit more 'vegging out' - both in terms of relaxing by the pool and enjoying vegetarian food (after a month, we are now finally getting to grips with indian menus..uttapam or dosa or idli anyone?!). On our first night we visited the equivalent of 'The Rex', an art deco cinema where we enjoyed 'Boss' - all in Hindi without subtitles but the audience reaction was the real entertainment (think pantomime!). 


We visited the City Palace within the 'Pink City' (which we would suggest is more of an orange or ochre!) and tramped the streets and bazaars (when we could fight our way through the traffic). 


The highlight for Lucy was walking up to the 'Monkey Temple' where we found 5000 (allegedly!) monkeys. Despite the fact that one of them attempted to mug her, it was still tricky to restrict her to two photos!
