DÍA 8: Jaipur (viaje al norte de la India)
Blog: Diario de a bordo - 14 June 2011
Jaipur, 16 de enero de 2011. Como de costumbre, ese día volvimos a pegarnos un madrugón. Teníamos escasamente un día para visitar Jaipur, ya que a las cinco y media de la tarde salía nuestro tren en dirección a Kota para ir a Bundi. Por ese motivo, encargamos el desayuno para que a las 7.30 am estuviera listo. No obstante, cuando bajamos al comedor muy puntuales, justo lo estaban empezando a preparar y, en lugar de salir a las 8 am como teníamos previsto, salimos del hotel sobre las 8.30 am.

Blog: Diario de a bordo - 7 June 2011
Jaipur, 15 de enero de 2011. Esa mañana era nuestro último día en Shekhawati y nuestro último día con Mahendra. Por la noche no habíamos dormido nada bien porque Sonia seguía con una tos que sonaba muy mal, a pesar del jarabe y los Strepsils que se había comprado el día anterior. A pesar de todo, nos levantamos con la calma y desayunamos.

Día 6: Shekhawati (Viaje al norte de la India)
Blog: Diario de a bordo - 24 May 2011
Thelasar, 14 de enero de 2011. Esa noche apenas pudimos pegar ojo. A pesar de lo cansadas que estábamos del tute del día anterior, Sonia se pasó toda la noche tosiendo. Los cambios tan bruscos de temperatura no le había sentado nada bien y, como es enfermera, nos dio un diagnóstico un tanto alarmante: «si no me recupero, pronto derivará en pulmonía.»

India is a fascinating tourist destination with an amazing mix of ancient beauties, colorful folk and classical dances and above all hospitable people but a more friendly approach towards tourists could definitely help to drive the country towards capitalization of global tourism.

Quirks of New Delhi Indira Gandhi International Airport (and domestic)
Blog: Travel log and tips for budget travel by backpacking, RV (motorhome) and cruising - 11 May 2011
Security at Delhi airport is very interesting. This information applies to Terminal 3 where some domestic and all international flights arrive on the lower floor and departures are on the upper floor. On arrival be aware that if you walk out of the terminal building you cannot re-enter under any circumstances For departures once you enter the building, even if you don't check in, you cannot leave under any circumstances. Worse still the seats are uncomfortable and there are few shops or places to eat.

Día 4: Agra (Viaje al norte de la India)
Blog: Diario de a bordo - 6 May 2011
Agra, 12 de enero de 2011Ni en mil años me hubiera imaginado que en primera noche en un tren indio iba a dormir como un tronco. Quizás el Orfidal que me dio Sonia me sirvió para dormir más de 10 horas a pesar de las flatulencias de medio vagón. Estuve perreando en mi litera durante un rato hasta que, hacia las 12 del mediodía, me levanté por fin.

Good value Rajasthan rooms and hotels with swimming pools
Blog: Travel log and tips for budget travel by backpacking, RV (motorhome) and cruising - 4 May 2011
We are budget concious travellers but try to maintain a reasonable standard of accomodaion and like to get value for money. Prices quoted are for a double en-suite room in April 2011. Hotels with pools were good as we could sight see in the mornings then relax by the pool later in the day when it was too hot to be out.

INDIA Booking things on line
Blog: Travel log and tips for budget travel by backpacking, RV (motorhome) and cruising - 3 May 2011
There are many websites to book things on line in India but the one we like best is Make My Trip The hotel sections offers very good rates on rooms and reviews to help - we booked a hotel through them, could not print out the voucher but were not even asked for it by the hotel. Flights,international and domestic, bus and train info is all on line. Another good site is Clear Trip but their prices were often dearer.

Seeking Nirvana in Bodhgaya – Where the Buddha attained enlightenment

India has three of the four most important Buddhist pilgrimage sites in the world, with the fourth being in Nepal. That is an impressive heritage for a country that counts less than one percent of its population as Buddhist (though ask any business man and most would take 1% of billion any time).
