Christmas Day in the car!

We visited the Amber Fort in Jaipur which was amazing. Such a huge imposing structure, it looked like the Great Wall of China rolling over the adjacent hills.

The Water Palace was also beautiful along with the Palace of the Winds (literally a facade).

We arrived in Pushkar, a very holy city for Hindus, up there in importance with Varanasi. It was really nice and quiet compared to everywhere else we had been. It is also the site of the only Brahma temple in India. We couldn't take a photo of it unfortunately. Brahma's wife also has two temples on either side of the valley, we hiked up to one of them to get a nice view of Pushkar and its lake.

As always we were shown the presidential suite at the hotel but ended up staying in a cheaper room as we both weren't feeling great!
