We finished off our trip to Jaipur on Saturday morning with an elephant ride up to Amber Fort. I definitely think this and the Taj are the most beautiful places I've ever seen. Sajel was excited when she saw the elephants- she was pointing and giggling. When hopped on and up we went. Sajel was holding on to the metal bar on our seat and thoroughly enjoying herself, as was I. At the top, we went into the fort and a guide gave us a tour. This place was amazing. It was built in the same era as Taj and was totally breath taking. The fort has a wall that extends around the city 72km! As we were leaving, we came upon some snake charmers. Sajel instantly started bobbing her head, she just can't help herself- music plays and she's ready to dance! We sat on the carpet with the snake charmers and had our picture taken. At one point the snake started turning around and the charmer put the lid on his basket and started on a different snake. I do believe that snake was not cooperating. We backed up a little after that :) ! Next, we toured City Palace. This was another beautiful place. We then had a nice lunch and headed for Delhi.
Another 5 hour car ride and Sajel was great. She promptly went to sleep for the first few hours and Marcus and I were also able to catch a little nap. I started to notice the driver turning the air on and off occasionally (does this sound familiar?). It seems our air conditioner was working part-time. Either way, we made it (a little sweaty) back to Delhi and settled back into our hotel. Sajel ran around like crazy and played alot. I gave her a shower (no bath here) in the evening and she screamed and screamed. I guess we'll have to wait for home to enjoy bath time!
Marcus was up at 0430 today and off to the airport. He arrived safely in Orissa and (EUREKA) has Sajel's passport in hand! The earliest he could get a flight is this evening, so he's hanging out at a hotel until then. They have day rates for hotel here :) Sajel is happy to be able to run around and has been doing plenty of just that! We are staying in today and I have been trying to do a little packing. I can't wait to come home on Friday!
Love, Sajel's Mom
