Day 7--Jaipur to Ranthambhore

It was an uneventful ride from Jaipur to Ranthambhore.  I forgot to mention that yesterday I went to a place where they made the famous Jaipur blue pottery.  It was really pretty.  Bought as much as I thought I could carry.



On the way to Ranthambhore there was lots to look at.  I surprised at the number of camel carts.




We arrived at the hotel and it looked like a palace.  Actually it was built to resemble one of the royal palaces.  I got upgraded from a standard to a deluxe room.  It is amazing.



The grounds are stunning.





Here is one of two swimming pools.  It struck me that it had the same structural elements as the step well I saw at the palace at the Amber Fort.  First is the Amber Fort step well and second is the pool at the Nahargarth hotel.





I am going to take it easy for today.  Tomorrow I have a safari at 6:00 AM.  Can't wait.
