Rajasthan 14 January 2010
Well this is the penultimate day of the tour, with not much to report. This is a 'free' day so I wander through the streets and bazaar with various other members of the group. Selling is particularly aggressive here, so we learn never to accept a hand offered for shaking because they don't let go. Many want to bestow religious blessings on you at potentially extortionate cost. One trick they play here is to tell you a number when you ask how much, then after you have said yes they say it's dollars not ruperts. Not nice.
Despite the selling practices, this is a charming town and well worth a visit. I buy Slumdog Millionaire dvd from a shopkeeper who is friendly and helpful but almost blind.
We are meeting early evening to catch the overnight train to Delhi. More on this tomorrow.
All the Best, John
