Day 5 - Jaipur Exploration










Today was the busiest day so far. Today's itinerary included visits to the Amber Fort Palace, City Palace, Jantar Mantar, Hawa Mahal
Birla Temple, and a fabric stamping shop.

The Amber Fort Palace was wickedly awesome. Its size and view of the city were incredible. I got to enjoy the view of the city from the back of an elephant. At first, the elephant ride scared me because the elephant rocked so much, but I got used to it about half-way up to the fort.

One of the coolest things I've seen done is fabric stamping. The people who stamp the fabric start out with white cotton fabric and turn it into a multi-colored stamped piece of art. I found it so fascinating that I tried it out myself.
