Jaipur 2

 The next morning I was as right as rain and a few of us set off for a rickshaw ride around the old town.





I think I'm correct that in India there are 3 legally recognised genders; male, female and hijra (or eunuchs of which there are more than 1 million - 1 in 1,000). Mostly treated badly by the rest of society and often it is hard to tell (not that it matters), these lovely ladies definitely are


Whereas ?


At about 5pm we caught a train to Jodhpur, luckily we were in an air conditioned seated class coach but some of the lesser class coaches looked dreadful.



Where ever you are, whatever time of day or night it is, in India there is always refreshments available - the "chaiwalla" doing his rounds.  The tea is quite revolting, made with condensed milk.
