2nd Day. -Delhi to Jaipur, 24th November 2010
Right after we had our breakfast with vege foods (salads, eggs n banana); we checked out to be on our next journey heading to Jaipur. I didnt have an idea how's the journey would be. Even tough the driver a little bit late due to miscommunication, but he will be our driver for the whole trip and it was so nice that he was so friendly and helpful, Mr Vikash Kumar.
We met our guide here, forgot his name already and proceeded with sightseeing tour around Delhi till the midday. We stopped by the India Gate, the memorial to the India army who died in the WWII, taking photo here and there; drive past the Rastrapati Bhawan (the residence of president) and the parliament House.
Also we had visit the historical place called Qutub Minar. A bit of info from en.wiki..yeah we knew that at those moment but had forgot most of them already.ngee.. -
"The Qutub Minar (Urdu: قطب مینار) is a tower located in Delhi, India. It is the world's tallest brick minaret with a height of 72.5 meters (237.8 ft). Construction commenced by Qutb-ud-din Aibak who won Delhi from Prithviraj under Muhammad Ghori as his commander in chief, and finished by Iltutmish. The Qutub Minar is notable for being one of the earliest and most prominent examples of Indo-Islamic architecture. It is surrounded by several other ancient and medieval structures and ruins, collectively known as Qutub complex."
so here our pics..
banyak lagi gambar but enough la kan..hehe
So, enough sightseeing of Delhi we apart with the tour guide, paid him 5dolar each person and heading to Jaipur, approximately 265km from Delhi and almost 6 hours..hello macam dari penang ke melaka kot. but that's our highway, this is India ok..so we departed almost 12.00 at noon at we arrived almost 8.00 pm.
Frankly said, it was a unique experienced, picturesque, sepanjang jalan ada bunga kuning kecik2 ala2 cerita 'Dilwale Dulhaniya le Jayenge' tu..; even very exhausting and our stomach keep singing..luckily we stopped by at the restaurant. Lunch on our own-so expensive..again the menu all the vegies food..roti nan, vege masala, kind of lettuce and brocoli i tought. Silap beli milk tea, they put the very2 fresh milk from the cow ok..lapar punya pasal kena telan jaa..haahaa amek kow!
alar sorry, takde plak gambar restoran ni..apepun lepas makan naik balik coaster, solat jamak dalam coaster then we fall asleep till we arrived at Mansingh Hotel. Check in, had dinner at apa lagi tidooooo..letih beb..eh before that we had our own jalan2 window shopping sarees..note that JAIPUR is a textile town ok. dapat la sepasang punjab suit, very nice colour and embroidery.luv it!
so check out gambar2 along the journey and inside the hotel..
2ND DAY-25TH NOV: JAIPUR
After breakfast, we proceed visiting the first place at Jaipur, Amber Fort, also known as Amer fort located at Amer, small town in Jaipur. Dif u know that Jaipur also known as Rajashtani (land of raja), haha..so you might get the idea what kind of places could be here..yeah a lot of MAHAL2 things..is not that 'mahal-expensive' but mahal in urdu/hindustani means palace..keh3 nama pun dah mahal kan?
So, en route to Amer, we stopped by one palace in the town that called Hawa Mahal. The pink colour palace, that was a palace for ladies during the summer time, if im not mistaken laa..hehe
oh, a lot of things to jot down about Amber Fort, u can choose either riding on an elephant for 12dollar or jeep for 5dollar if im not mistaken but it was cheaper than riding elephant plus it's more comfort..hehe. So we chose the jeep.
So the 'annoying' tour guide starting his 'guidance'.."The fort is divided into four main sections each with its own entry gate and courtyard...this is the palace bla..bla..bla..this is the room for bla..bla.blaa..this is the dance floor bla..bla.." aigoo..he was so annoying tau, being a guide in term of the money, met his friends and did show fierce face when we 'did' listen carefully to his speech..heehee..so funny...
Stop writing bie..just let the photos speaking..hehe
continued the after lunch story on the next entry..tadaaa..
