To Jaipur. Day9 Great Rail journey

Today the Great Rail Journey became the Great Bus Journey as we were taken by coach from Agra to Jaipur, the pink city of Rajasthan.
Not however before we had the chance to enter the Kohinoor jewellery museum in Agra where we saw the most exquisite precious and semi precious stones and fabulous embroidered wall hangings incorporating some of these stones.

Then it was onwards to Fatehpur Sikri, a perfectly preserved red sandstone city built and abandoned by the Moguls in the 16th century.
My blip is of two stone masons there, shaping a pattern on a red sandstone block with a hammer and large nail

Finally In the dark we got to Jaipur which looked amazingly civilised compared to Delhi and Agra, with streets of Western looking shops, medical college, modern hospital and good looking schools.
The downside was the traffic with a chaotic traffic jam of cars, buses, scooters and bicycles all fighting for road space.

It was interesting to see on the well maintained toll roads towards Jaipur, that undertaking was the name of the game, with lorries and trucks hogging the fast lane, so that traffic tended to overtake in the slow lane, but just having to avoid any animal carts and stray cows. Very unBritish.
