Jodpur

May I interest you in the beautiful Jodpur-blue?

Here, in Jodpur, you will stay at an awesome western style hotel with a pool, all you can eat dinners, and a magician (where did those other pigeons come from?).

There will be some amazing forts and palaces – probably the coolest you will see:











There may be another textile debacle…

One minute, you’re on your way back to your hotel, and the driver decides to take a little detour to the local craft emporium. The next minute, you’re walking out of a store carrying a sack of textiles just having heard some story about Bill Murray and Richard Gere.

And the award for the fasted acquisition of unnecessary textiles goes to… Seth.

According to local legend, it was here that Mahatma Gandhi renounced his worldly possessions – after being fleeced by a local textile merchant. There is a statue at the edge of town commemorating this event.
