Who needs bins.....Who needs bins.....Who needs bins.....

When you have got cows, dogs, goats, pigs.......
Since leaving Agra we went to Jaipur in Rajasthan, where we both got a bout of the Delhi Belly! We knew it would catch up with us sooner or later, so we have been feeling a little delicate to say the least!
Jaipur itself was CRAZY!!! we have never seen chaos like it.... cars, mopeds, bikes, tuk tuks, rickshaws, cows, goats, dogs, monkey, cats...the list goes on (including the indians!), all on the road, all guns blazing! certainately not a place to relax, and boy did we feel it, to be honest we both couldn't wait to leave!!
Next stop was Jodphur, which again was a city but this time not as manic, both places were pretty hot, Ami had the factor 50 out! Until then we hadent really been feeling the heat so we had never worn summer clothes, but the day we did (only vest top and 3/4 trousers i might add!) we regreted it and soon put our fleeces back on.... the looks we got were unbelieveable, its like we are from outta space or extremely famous...everyone stops, stares, takes pictures, laughs, begs, tries to speak to us, shakes our hands, follows us and on occasion throws stones

20 ruppees, poo colour, not happy, gonna be there for weeks!
at us!!! yes that really did happen! Its hard to get your head around it because there are other white travellers here but honestly you would think we were the first white people to step foot on their land.
We are now in a place called Mount Abu which is lovely, its seems to be the place where all the indians come on their holidays, obviously its a mountain with lovely view, temples, lake...and is very peaceful...even for us!
We are having a fantastic time and still cant believe we are here, doing it! We have meet some nice indians and experienced so much already.
Probably gonna head down south soon and get some beach action.
Hope your all enjoying the updates and photos, we are both thinking of you all x
