Jaipur old city - pink city

The old part of the city of Jaipur is known as the pink city. Unfortunately it had rained in the morning and was drizzily most of the day so it made for some unpleasant muddy getting around.

Just a small side note, the filth in China is nothing compared to India, the streets are always dirty, the footpaths are only half footpath, half dirt and most walls double as a urinal. There is rubbish everywhere and quite often human excrement is found along the footpath area. The safest and cleanest place to walk is along the road, just so long as you avoid the holes that is.

Anyway, Jaipur pink city. It seems like one huge bazaar. All the streets we went along were teeming with vendors, once again grouped into themes. We also saw monkeys climbing around the buildings, cattle on the streets and even a camel pulling a cart, sadly I was too slow and missed the photo but did get an ox cart later. I climbed a minarette but due to rain and fog couldn't see more than about half a kilometer so hopefully will make it back on a better day.

The minarette

Spot the monkey.
