India

Well we are here in Jaipur after visiting Delhi and Agra. We have had an amazing week, so many facinating sights. The first thing we noticed after we landed was the smog, it actually penetrated the airport buildings. The second thing was the traffic - lots of it, with no sense of order and lots of horns. The most astonishing thing was the way that people crossed the road, just weaving through the moving  cars, bikes, motorbikes, tuk tuks and cows.
We were staying in Surajkund as we wanted to visit the Mela held every February. Great variety of Textiles from all over India and neighbouring countries.
Obviously we visited all the major tourist sites but also the Crafts Museum which had an astounding collection of textiles. I also bought a few pieces of fabric and Indian outfits.
After four days we moved onto Agra, managing to see four wonderful monuments before retiring to the hotel. The next morning we left the hotel at 6.45am to walk to the Taj Mahal.
Then on to Jaipur, stopping at Fatehpur Sikri and Abhanari on the way. This is only our second day here and we have seen main sites, loads of textiles (okay bought more fabric and printing blocks). Three more days of activities and then off to Goa.
I will post lots of photos when I return home.
