On the night train to Jodhpur, I slept like a baby on an upper bed, but I had to wake up at 5am otherwise I would have missed the station...
I walked in Jodhpur in early morning, like when I arrived my first day in India in Delhi. Found a nice hotel to rest one hour before visiting the city.
After, some walking to the post office and also some wandering in the city.
I visited Jodhpur fort which is very very impressive on a 150m high hill, the Rajah used to live there until very recently.
The museum is nice with an audio guide and an itinerary through the fort, I had a good moment there. On my way back, dinner in a restaurant just at the feet of the hill, with a nice view all over the city.
The next morning, early train to Ajmer, where I took a bus to Pushkar.
Pushkar is a relaxing city around a sacred lake where pilgrims and priests go bathing and take tourist to make a wish, throwing flower petals in the lake and tiding a bracelet not to break.
Well, I'm not so superstitious but I promised the guy I will come back if my wishes come true :-).
walking in the city is cool, there are no rickshaw here, the city is surrounded by small mountains. There is one popular spot where people stay having a drink on the lake banks at sunset, unfortunately I missed the sun set as I was on the other side of the lake, busy making a wish.
The streets are full of bazaars, temples and restaurants, but not so much crowded. There are a lot of tourists though, a bit "disneylandish", a lot of Israeli and French tourists, some of them with hippie style. There are some nice paths to go. I ll try a walk to the top a nearby hill with a nice view on the lake, tomorrow morning at sunrise should be perfect.
I finally bypassed Udaipur, as quite a long way in the south, my next step will be Agra and then Benares.
