December in India, Part 6

We left Agra on the morning of December 24th and spent most of the day driving to Jaipur.  The road was very foggy in the morning and we ended up stopped for about 45 minutes in a traffic jam.  As they day went on the fog burned off and we entered drier country.

Yeongmi Takes a Photo

We stopped late in the morning for a tour of Fatehpur Sikri which is the ruins of an old capital of the Mughal Empire abandoned shortly after it was built due to lack of water.

What a Couple!

Fatehpur Sikri

We stopped for lunch and met a woman from Spain, whose photo I had taken the day before at the Taj Majal; such an odd coincidence given the crowds there.

Vegetable and Fruit Market in Jaipur

We got into Jaipur in the afternoon and after driving past Amber Fort, we met our guide and decided to do our sightseeing the next day.  We went to our hotel which was the Hotel Om Tower.  It was the nicest place we stayed on the trip.  We had Christmas Eve dinner at the rotating restaurant on the top floor and then visited All Saints Church, a small Anglican chapel, just across the road.
