Beautiful Blue

Jodhpur is beautiful, I'm always loving the blue, so being in city where there's a blue building round every corner I couldn't be much happier. It's a pretty special blue too, that is warm and just changes into all these different subtle shades depending on the time of day and what the skies doing. Hey it even makes the pidgeons look good- They sort of reflect the sky and the buildings and it just makes them look much prettier than they normally would! Then there's the odd bright green parrot flying over and the huge kites wheeling round the fort in the evening. Then there's the people arrayed in all manner of beautiful bright colours and all incredibly friendly with it. We've wandered through spice, grain and fabric markets and soaked up all the colour and beauty around us. We hired bikes yesterday and cycled up to the palace across the city, good fun and not as dangerous as I had feared, it seems there is a pretty comprehensive system of giving way and nothing is travelling that fast so even if your brakes are a bit ropey you can muddle through. We did manage to get comprehensively lost a couple of times but asked directions and managed to find our way home again. The fort is stunning, some of the most beautiful and intricate architecture I've ever seen, and once we fought our way through the bollywood film set at the entrance it was incredibly tranquil with stunning views across the city.
We move on to Udaipur in southern Rajasthan tomorrow more news from there.
