I see sky’s are blue (and so is Jodhpur)

On our way to Jodhpur we stop at Sambhali Trust. It’s here we meet some local school children and learn all about their schooling, we also had a great deal of fun learning how to wrap turbans, saris and get our hands painted with henna (looks good right). We say goodbye to the kids and continue driving towards Jodhpur. We arrive at our guest house in time to sit and have a cooking lesson. Umm.... not sure if I can repeat these steps when I get home.

Jodhpur is affectionately known as “the blue city” because of the many indigo coloured housed in the old town. Up I go to Meherangarth Fortress to check this view out. Meherangarth is the largest fort in the whole of Rajasthan and has never been taken by force. From here I make my way to Sardar Market, it’s here I am hit by the overwhelming smells of spices and flowers. I stop and have a saffron Lassi to relax and cool down.

Its mid afternoon and we start to make our way to our home stays. Its here we spend the night with a local middle class family. The family we are staying with has a family history that goes back to Indian Royalty. Don’t worry mum I am on my best behaviour.
