I'll see some museums as I got a Jaipur Composite Ticket yesterday.
Get excessive honking on the way to a giant bottle neck with a pedestrian crossing. Get a reasonably rock- star parking spot and cross the street, probably before the honkers got through.
One guy I have to say no to 3 times on the way in. A shame, maybe he was actually an official guide? Too bad, one "no" is normally enough.
Is it weird to say that I find the sight of white people quite a shock? Like what the hell happened to that guy??
There's a pedestrian walk way up. That's excellent.
For a coffee at Amber Fort for 240 inr ($4). This is a dear as poison and tastes like water. Breakfast cost 190 for a meal and an excellent milk chai. I am in a shitty mood today. Crowds are always annoying.
On the way out I bought a couple of paintings. I had to outrun one guy who wouldn't take no.
The guy at the parking did 40 parking charge. I said no!
The ride back was uneventful.
Went to Hawa Mahal, which is nearly a 2d facade at the front. You can climb to the top of this kind of wedding cake looking thing. I think it's Buddha's crown or something.
Then climbed the Isarlat Sargasooli ईसरलाट सरगासूली which is a victory tower. It has a ramp spiralling up the inside. Kids were having a great time. I had to block the noise by putting my fingers in my ears.
Popped over the road, checked an alley of bracelet markers, went up a temple steps after the guy who sent me over followed me over and insisted I go up.
Met a local artist who took me to his gallery, gave me a chai, said I don't need to buy, but then pushed to sell me a painting anyway. I'm a sucker if people are nice.
Got home. Went to dinner at Kaaram's कारम. A bit weird for ordering, as you must do it through a touch screen. The plus side, there is a picture of every single dish. You can pay cash as well, not to the screen haha.
I had a Ghee Podi Thatte Idli. Delicious. Plus the man will come and give you more sauces as needed.
They're playing western pop music, which feels weird. If I could, I'd ask for local music.
My other dish was a Ghee Podi Benne Masala Dosa with potato mixture. Also v delicious.
