After Agra, we headed to Jaipur, the 3rd city in the so-called ‘tourist triangle’ (Delhi, Agra and Jaipur). Jaipur is called the Amber or Red City. Most of the old buildings are painted red.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately, the morning of our travel day to Jaipur, our son was struck down with Delhi Belly and almost didn’t make the car trip. The next day, our daughter and I were also struck down. This meant that we spent the next 3 days in the apartment. (Thank god we got a serviced apartment for Jaipur and not a hotel or homestay!). We had originally only planned on spending 4 days, so we extended our stay by another 4 days so that we could actually see something of Jaipur other than our apartment…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the fourth day, we tried to venture out, but that ended with us having to literally drag our daughter around and her sitting anywhere on the ground she could (pee, garbage, etc.) because she became so unwell about an hour after we went out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Old city and Hawa Mahal<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We did however, manage to see the famous Hawa Mahal facade that day (before she got sick), and we managed to see the inside courtyard too, and some of the old city while we walked around trying to find an Uber pick-up spot. But, unfortunately, we had to miss the city palace and the Jantar Mantar observatory. Here are some scenes from the old city and Hawa Mahal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In India, there seem to be celebrations and music everywhere. We had a wedding at the house across the street from our apartment the night before, and when we went to the Hawa Mahal, the tickets were free due to some festival and there was music playing in the courtyard and people dancing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
