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.





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.
