"No I am not a God, only rickshaw driver"

We had a fantastic day in Jaipur, another city in the state of Rajasthan. Jaipur is a big bustling city that is one of the stops on the Golden Triangle.

We were lucky enough to meet up with a rickshaw driver, Vishu (not to be confused with the God Vishnu), who also moonlights as a tour guide. Vishu was extremely friendly, doe eyed and a crazy driver! With Vishu we visited the Amber Fort, Sirin Temple, The Water Palace, Royal Gaitor, and Jantar Mantar.

While all these places have been really fascinating, it was really great to meet someone in India that was friendly and trustworthy. It has been unfortunate that the majority of Nationals that speak to us have been touts and other people wanting our money.

Vishu invited us to his home to meet his family and that was an interesting experience. We were offered chai and chapatis and met his mother and sisters. This is the second Indian home we have experienced and have found that Indians are very hospitable, but it is odd that we always congregate in someone's bedroom as there is no common area.
