It was another long drive over very poor roads to reach Jodhpur, The Blue City. We actually ate lunch on the drive to get there in time to spend the afternoon sightseeing.On the way we watched this very dry landscape with its very traditional local people.
This shot has the full family. The clothing was mainly traditional.
After a brief stop at the hotel we visited the Cenotaph where the various rulers have been cremated and memorials constructed. It had great views over the city.
Our main stop was at the Mehrangarh Fort that was constructed in 1459. It was again both fort and palace, The entry was defensive but the palace section contained some great artworks.
The entry was a steep climb!
Stunning architecture.
This is the Palace of Flowers. A very highly decorated room in gold.
That night we went to the Palace of the former mistress to the Maharajah. A stunning venue and an elaborate meal of traditional Rajasthani food.
This is one of the rooms. We ate on the rooftop with great views of the current palace and the entire city.
