To Jodhpur

Early departure from Agra to Jodhpur by train. Very smooth ride all along.

The great majority of the Indian travelers ride on wagons with open windows and no AC. We would have died! Thanks to the AC we enjoyed very much the sightseeing; specially the transition from green pastures to orange sandy fields. There are trees also but quite trimmed by the goats! From far they look like cactus!

For the first time I yelled at the youngsters that swamped us as soon as we exited the train. Not only were they extremely insistent but they tried to take us away from the main exit! One of them even called someone else as he kept following up, probably a scheme? That got to me and I quickly bursted. It kept them away. Till we met the next ones by the prepaid taxi booth... Herr... Several tuc-tuc drivers swamped us again but the lady at the booth stayed firm and we set things right with the only driver left. What a pain there transfers!

But it was worth it. This is the nicest hotel we have been so far. And we got the best suite! Check out the picture.
