Jaipur

Asher and I left Agra at about noon today, after managing to spend time at each of the places we most wanted to visit (more on that when we find ourselves in a proper WIFI situation... ) in our car with our driver - Mr Bapu Lal -
and headed first to Fatephur Sikri where we were hynotized by the beauty and depleted by the mid-afternoon heat. We persevered and eventually made it back to the car and now sit in a 260 year old Haveli, Karnot Mahal (in need of further renovation) - but with one internet connection and a television (Asher's main two requirements). We do not know what is for supper but we are ready. Tomorrow we head to the Amber Fort on Elephants (of course) and then to spend an afternoon in Jaipur and another night here. We stood on the roof and watched a family of monkeys cavorting on a small roof top terrace just across the road. A change of plans resulted in an opportunity for us to spend Friday (neither of us can remember what day it is) in the magical village of Bundi where Rudyard Kipling wrote much of Kim and other tales of India
