Jaipur

We're sat writing this at the Pearl Palace in Jaipur, our last stop of India's Golden Triangle and our best hotel yet, run by the ever-so-willing-to-please Mr Singh. He's made us a guide book including recipes. His sole purpose is to make sure we love the hotel. It's a bit full-on, but the place is great! The Peacock restaurant on top of the hotel is great - the first place we've seen that takes real pride in it's appearance, with great views over the palaces and forts of the heart of Rajasthan; Jaipur.

We've spent a great couple of days here exploring, mainly the old city and it's bazaars, palace, temples and oddities. Here's a few photo highlights below:

Inside the Old City - hectic!

The Jantar Mantar - LP calls it an observatory from the 18th Century... 

...after 5 mins walking about, Matt decides its a crazy golf course
