Trip to Jaipur

Same breakfast as yesterday,  wandered around, looked at a few bags, filled a water bottle using a public chiller box. I don't know if this water safe. 

Said farewell to Cookie, left 2 shirts, hopefully for anyone who needs it. 

And I'm off. Up the hill that overlooks Ajmer. I went past the lake. It's nice.

Stopped at the govt museum, mainly because of needing to pee. It has some good artwork, 5000 y.o. pottery, and 1-2000 y.o. coins, and various weapons. 

Outside the honking is annoying today,  and I just couldn't be bothered staying. I stood in the street and booked a train ticket, dropped the bike off and had a Thali lunch.

In the train, I've picked exec 1st class. They bring bottles of water and a tray load of snacks.

At Jaipur a parcels guy practically pounced on me. He took me to the window, sat down with me while we waited then told me to pay 50 rupees to someone random at the collection desk. I asked why? Told him that is not how it works, informed him I'd already paid. The other guy laughed and my guy gave up immediately. 

All the same I fully kit up and ride off quickly to avoid any evil spirits. 

First stop, the hotelier is away, 2nd stop has no vacancy, 3rd stop Park Hotel I couldn't see there, 4th stop is under renovation so 5th stop is a 5 star hotel which is a major treat.

Last night's hotel:

this is actually very clean and comfortable. 

Tonight's hotel:

also clean and comfortable. 

India is a total roulette wheel.
