I am glad that we drove to Jaipur after all. On top of the intensity that I have now become accustomed of all that is India - the flavors, the smells, the traffic, the amount of people... Jaipur had more to offer. The "pink city" (more like orangey..) with its gorgeous palace and fort  was a pleasant surprise to us. What really stuck on us is the fascination that most civilisations have with death. All the most beautiful temples or halls are memorials or burial places.



What the buildings lack in luxury (think gold, think churches in Europe) India made up in size.

A very enjoyable day looking at the archaeological remains of the "old city" in Delhi.



People eating @ the temple
A most unusual way to finish our time in India: visiting a Sikh temple were more than 25,000 people a day come to eat an much more to pray. You should see the kitchen!
