The Blue City

...Jodhpur! I have to say, as we flew in to Jodhpur, I had my camera ready for that birds-eye view shot of the blue city from above and was slightly disappointed to find not a blue house in sight! You had to venture slightly further in to the old village up near the fort for those views. Our stay in Jodhpur was so much fun.
The busy little streets were like a maze full of brightly coloured doors and archways, people sitting in their doorways, children running in the streets and cows EVERYWHERE. The market around the Clock Tower is pure madness, with bangle stall after bangle stall after bangle stall.

We did some shopping here, Rajasthan being known for it's leather, I purchased a wonderful brown leather satchel, some brightly coloured slippers and a couple of scarves from Baba's Art Emporium. We also splashed out at On The Rocks, a restaurant recommended in the guide books which turned out to be pretty steep in prices but absolutely delicious and the waiters all wear military uniform! We also went up to the Mehrangarh Fort, which gave us the most amazing views of all the blue houses! The fort is definitely a must in Jodhpur. In fact, Jodhpur itself is definitely a must if you are ever in Rajasthan, i really do recommend you take a nosy around...
