ride. The conditions were favorable, so we went up, up and away.
It was a great experience for those of us in the two balloons and for the
people below in the village as we flew over. I think the whole town was out
this morning to watch and wave to us as we floated by.
After landing we headed back to Jaipur to visit the Amber Fort and Palace.
Like the royals of old, we rode elephants up to the fortress perched on the
hillside. Construction was ongoing at this fort for over 100 years. It had
commanding views of the valley and was surrounded by its' own "Great Wall".
No one was going to be sneaking up here!
Had a photo stop at the Water Palace and then a traditional Indian lunch
across the street before making our way to the next fort to see the world's
largest cannon. Jaigarh Fort is an ancient fortress sitting above the Amber
Fort on the crest of the hill.
After the forts it was time to do some shopping and bargaining in the "Old
City" before going back to the hotel.
