Short drive to Jaipur; 222 km, however it took us 5 hours, or an average speed of 44km/h. This in spite of a 4 lane divided highway. The notion of a highway is slightly different here. Nothing keep people from making U-turns, drive on the wrong side, use ox-cart, so minimum speed may be close to zero, mostly if a truck drivers takes a nap next to his truck, right on the highway itself.
The scenery has changed, sand and palm trees have appeared, together with camel driven carts and elephants. During this journey, we will have seen a very large sample of the animal kingdom.

Elephant ride
Jaipur is called the “Pink City”, which is the color of the st cartones used to build the palaces, the fort and the walls. It is where we spent most of the afternoon.

The gate of the winds
We visited also the bazaar where you may find anything except what you are looking for. Next to each and every monument, there is a cloud of souvenir sellers that will never give up, they follow you until you buy or until your car is at full speed.
Surprisingly there are no beggar, this mean that the country, however poor, has made significant economic progress in the recent years.
