Onwards to Jodhpur

A brief post breakfast tour of the Bramah Temple was about all we had left to see in Pushkar... glad we didn’t give it half a day to look around – we spent a total of about 15 mins scooting round it. Following the excitement of another temple, we headed back to Ajmer to give ourselves plenty of time to change our travel arrangements. We have decided to cut out a detour east of Ahemdebad to Sanchi for a few days and instead will get to Goa three days earlier than we had planned – on the 27th Oct.

On the bus on the way back to Ajmer we saw this warning.  

We didn’t somk the whole journey!
We arrived into Jodhpur on time, I was impressed, but after dark so the main concern was accommodation. We got in a rickshaw and sent him to the clock tower, not really sure what the clock tower looked like, thinking we’d recognise it when we got there. We did:


Quite an imposing building at night. We then headed out to find somewhere to eat; more trick than you might imagine in a city. We eventually ended up about 45 mins later at a place not more than 400 meters from the guest house we were staying in, on the roof of another guest house, albeit slightly more up market.

On the way back to the guest house we encountered dancing:



The street up to the guest house had been turned into a tinselly dance haven, apparently for some festival or other.



We watched the dancing for about an hour before we eventually called it a night – leave the party in full swing and all that.

As with all children, there is always a ring leader!!!
