in jaipur now, took the morning train from Delhi to Agra (yes it is a shit hole) for the day then the evening train to Jaipur....we had sleeper class tickets. really not that bad, but far from great lol
loving the country so far....elephants, camels, bulls, cows, goats, pigs and that's all on the side of the road lol
traffic here is insane and the no shits given attitude of everyone from the cars to rickshaws to people walking across the road just makes it that much crazier
we booked all our tickets for the trains while still in delhi all the way to mumbai. heading to jaisalmer tomorrow night for a 3 day 2 night camel trek then down to jodhpur then udiapur then mumbai. figuring out the scams and tourist schemes took a day or so in delhi to figure out. the first "government tourist office" that we were told we had to check into which obviously was just a travel shop, was trying to sell us on hiring a car for 10 days at $65 a day, i pretty much just laughed and walked out the door. booked all the necessary trains plus more than the car would have covered for a fraction of the cost. hiring rickshaws as needed is super easy. even got on Uber tonight and got a nice ride in a car for less than what some girls at our guesthouse paid for rickshaw to the restaurant we went to. definitely using uber when possible now. rickshaws love to jack up the price (sure it's only a couple canadian dollars but still)
fuck did i miss food with flavor, uh the food has been great so far (albeit we've stayed more towards the touristy restaurants for the most part, still only like $9 for a meal to feed the both of us)
