  India Wildlife and Medieval Tour for Mr. Aladdin
34 Nights – 35 Days Cut short to 30 days due to VISA issues
 Saturday 16th of January 2016 and yet again, my alarm went off at 07:20. So I had many hours to kill before my Driver will be here for our Jaipur Tour Part 2. Well, as I had made my Chief Officer plan we had completed everything yesterday except for the Amber sound and light show. Yeah, the sound and light show is obviously during the night and as we had started early (13:00) with the city tour of Jaipur. So we skipped the Amber sound and light show yesterday, mostly because I had hope to get to Marriott for a lunch/ dinner. But I skipped the dinner as it was a wee bit late when we came back to the hotel yesterday. But today, and one of the reasons for us to start so early today (15:00) was that I have planned to stop at Marriott or Sheraton for a late lunch. Otherwise it was razor blades and a haircut on  my list of “list of things to do” and to keep an eye out for some Diet Pepsi.
When I came out to my driver there was a representative from Meruka India Tourism Service. He was here to see how my trip had turned out. I asked if he knew a supermarket so we could look for razor blades and Diet Pepsi. He gave directions to the driver and we took off to see what we could find at the supermarket. They had razor blades but no Diet Pepsi. By now I'm convinced that they don't have any Diet Pepsi here in Jaipur. I bought 6 bottles of Mango juice and I went to the cashier to pay. There was a tw** keeping the cashier busy. He was  continuing shopping while at the cashier and one of the girls had to bring biscuits and tooth brushes etc. And the price was not right and it went on and on.
I left my mango juice and razor blades and I left. We took off to the Pink City. The Amber sound and light show don't start until 18:30. I had been told that the show would start at 6. This was a disappointment, now we had 30 minutes extra to kill. And by the looks of thing there isn't very much to do around here to kill time. We found a parking place in the Pink City and I got out of the car and I told the driver that I would be back in an hour and I took off to explore the place.
We left the barber shop and I think I paid 30 or 60 Rupees for the haircut. So it was not much  for my haircut, OK, there was nothing advanced by it and it only took a few minutes.
We left the barber shop and we drove to the Amber sound and light show and it only took us a few minutes to go there. I got my ticket and it was about 20 minutes until the show should start. And we were sitting outside and it was cold. We're on the top of one of the houses used as a ticket office and we were facing the Amer Fort. They were obviously going to use the Amer Fort to display the light show on. Time turned slow because it was cold. The clock turned 18:30 and they started to test the sound system. And it took quite some time. GET STARTED ALREADY!  Ticket office

I had expected a 45 minutes show but it was an hour. It was the best attraction in Jaipur and I can recommend it. But it was very cold so please bring a jacket or blanket if you are here during  the cold season.
When I left the place I saw that there were many people lining up in the ticket office and I learned that there was a second show. The first show is in English and the second show is in Hindi. The show was a story about the history of India and it was, well, I was mostly looking at the light trying to take pictures. The story was interesting, I'm pretty sure about it. Of course patriotic so as always, take it with a grain of salt. But there were so many strange name to keep track of so I  lost the plot after a while. But I had enough  to entertain myself with the picture taking and the setting on the camera. So time turned quickly even though it was cold.
The Driver was waiting for me outside the ticket office and it was nice to be back in the car. I asked the Driver to turn up the heat to full in the car. We drove back to Jaipur and it was now almost 8 o'clock but the traffic was still heavy and it took us qite some while to get back to the hotel. I stopped at the restaurant for some dinner before returning to my room.  On the way back to my hotel

Well, it will be nice to get back to the safari adventures and the Driver will pick me up at 11 o'clock tomorrow morning and he expect it to take about 4 hours to Ranthambhore and Abrar Palace and Jungle Camp where I will stay for 3 nights. This promise to be exciting and it will for sure be an adventure. Will we see any tigers? Just click HERE to find out what there is to see in Ranthambhore.
