Amber Fort, Jaipur

Today we woke up for an 8:30 buffet breakfast at the Bissau Palace hotel, then got ready to leave for 9:30. Unfortunately it was raining so we couldn't visit the observatory as we had planned, because it was all in the open. So instead we went straight to the amber fort which was next in the list of things to do. We travelled up the hill to the fort by jeeps along a very bumpy road. 
The amber fort was very interesting and beautiful and we learnt a lot from our tour guide. Although we did get completely soaked, so when we got on the bus the majority of us turned our jumpers into skirts. 
We then got back on the bus and went for lunch at Pizza Hut (still wearing our lovely jumper skirts). After all eating quite a lot of pizza we headed back to the hotel. The original plan was to visit elephantastic however we were unable to due to the heavy rain, and it may have not been safe to travel there and back as some roads were flooded. 
Back at the hotel a few of us went in the pool which was very fun and relaxing. We're now all relaxing and are about to have a nice Indian dinner at the hotel. Then tomorrow it's an early start and off to Dehli.
