Amber Fort, Jaipur

once again I will show you pictures from Amber fort in Jaipur...

 I was there with my very best friends from back home and we so enjoyed ourselves..

 if you ever visit Amber or Amer as they say here this is really worth a visit...

it's so impressive when you drive by it..

first elephant of the day...a small one !

elephants waiting to take tourists up to the fort....

be there early before the big tourist buses arrive..

my friend managed to buy a tablecloth on the way up...she's a good bargainer...

the spice garden....once rare saffron flowers grew here...

waiting to get tickets...

the from yard of the fort..

my friend sitting at the entrance to Ganesh pool...together with one of many guards here...

a sweeper in Sukh Niwas

decor at Jas Mandir..

precious and semiprecious stones at Jas Mandir...there is a  room totally decorated with small mirrors,

Sheesh Mahal...

one candle will light up the entire room into a starlit sky...

reflections are fun...

what a view we got with our tea and coffee....

see the women climbing the hill collecting food for the animals

also overlooking Jaigarh fort, the military fort...

a little bird sat down with us...

and some parrots flew by....

I didn't know they had dots on the wings....

when leaving Katrin got a new friend...guess he wanted a snack...

Gunnar also got a friend ...a vendor...he wanted 3000 dollar only....

for the tablecloth that they bought earlier for 1000 rupees !

we got in the car and headed for the forts up the hill...

two of them....interested ?

then have a look in the next post...
