Tomorrow Ashok and I will be joined by a guide and I'll see some of the major sites of Jaipur. So far so good.

Day 5: Gurgaon to Jaipur
It was about a four hour ride from Gurgaon to Jaipur. My driver, Ashok, is a great guy so it made the ride fun. There were tons of trucks and a fairly rural countryside. Luckily we had good air conditioning. I just checked the temperature in Jaipur and it's 105 degrees at 6 PM/
I am staying at a very nice hotel, The Trident, across from the Jai Mahal (water palace). The ground and rooms are lovely.
