Pink city
Jaipur is gorgeous! With its Mughal palaces and terracotta coloured architecture, it’s become a favourite destination for Indian tourists. The shopkeepers are aware of this and their hole-in-the-wall stores are an Aladdin’s cave of expensive fabrics, carpets and intricate handicrafts.
As for the touts, they ignored us. They probably (rightly!) figured, “Those two dirtbag cyclists won’t be willing to splash out on silk saris.”
