These backpacks do seem a lot heavier than when we came and I have only bought a pair of sunglasses so far. The journey was really pleasant once we had cleared Jaipur and a major crossroads town called Chomu. It was really nice to see the countryside and people working in the fields etc. I http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/India/Rajasthan/Nawalgarh/blog-333125.html Day 4 Agra to Jaipur 4102008 h2Mr AliBaba and different driver arrived in splendid ac at 7.00am as promised and took us the long way round to the South gate to the Taj Mahal and said he would be waiting outside at 9.00am.

Journey fine in A2 which means an airconditioned carriage and 2 people to a seat with a bed above.

E' una zona povera ma non c'e' la miseria che si trova nelle citta' che abbiamo visitato finora. Alloggiamo da una famiglia di bramini che affitta del http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/India/Rajasthan/Nawalgarh/blog-265415.html Hi everyone It's been awhile since I've been on here It's been harder to get to an internet connection because Nawalgarh is a small town and I've been their the last several days.

The town isn't large but there are some confusing little alleyways and I was at the northern extremity of the map before I found my first haveli. It was interesting that Rajesh's recommended havelis did not tally with what was in the Rough Guide. Given the quality of the ones I saw I would suspect the Rough Guid http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/India/Rajasthan/Nawalgarh/blog-28807.html The conductor kindly made sure I got off the train at Nawalgarh Station at 630AM in the morning desert chill. I got an auto to the hotel which turned out to actually be a guest house there are no staff except the owner and his wife and guests are expected to fit in to the daily life of the family there are 3 children too.
