India Day 4 - Jaipur

This if the first day that we don't have to travel anywhere! How nice to relax a bit! We got tuktuks to take us around for the day - Amber Fort, Hawa Mahal, the water palace, the monkey palace, lunch with a live traditional dance, and finally dropping us off at the market for some shopping. Our driver warned us that since we had white skin, people would "think we were ATMs".

Craig and I separated from the group and were looking to buy a saree for myself. We quickly discovered that you actually buy the fabric and then get a dressmaker to make the shirt. We finally settled on a royal blue saree fabric with some bead work. We also bought some red and tan fabric for a silver suit (the dress-like shirts with pants underneath) although making it was going to be a little pricey since we needed it delivered to the hotel that night, so we decided to get it made in the next town. Craig and I finished our day with a nice dinner at a fancy restaurant with nasty washrooms. All the haggling in the market was exhausting so we crashed as soon as we got back to the hotel.
