Days 195 — 197.
Our last three days in India sort of bunched together. One day we did nothing but make the six-hour journey from Jaipur to Delhi. Then we spent a day catching up on some of the sights we'd missed the first time around, and tried unsuccessfully to explore the neighborhood a little bit. Then we ate at India's best restaurant and got ready for our departure to Istanbul.

Our journey through Jaipur continues with a visit to the ancient celestial observatory known as the Jantar Mantar.
Monday, 02-03-2015. Day 194 (Part one).
The Jewel of Jaipur.
Our first stop on our day-long tour of Jaipur was the Amber Fort, also called the Amer Fort or the Amber Palace, home of the Rajput Majarajas.
Sunday, 01-03-2015. Day 193.
Ghost Cities, Deep Wells, Sales Opportunities.
The drive from Agra to Jaipur is about a five-hour drive. But we did it in 10 because we stopped twice along the way to see some cool sights.
Saturday, 28-02-2015. Day 192.
Long drives, eternal love, palace intrigue.
After a long drive through the Indian countryside, we arrived in Agra and visited the Agra Fort and the Taj Mahal, which is more amazing than you think it is.
Friday, 27-02-2015. Day 191.
Mosques, Markets, Mughals.
Our first day in India was a tour of Delhi, both old and new, and included some amazing architecture, a smattering of history, and even a forced sales opportunity.

India is unlike any other country we've visited. Here's a little of what we saw during our eight days touring the "Golden Triangle."
