Jodhpur, India (Rajathan)

Jodhpur was our next stop in India and it came with a added bonus...

Mark returned from traveling with his lonely self (dramatized photo of actual event) and was eager to spend some quality times with his good friends. The time apart for Mark had not gone well as he is easily frieghtented.

Jodhpur is an interesting busy city with lots of markets and historical sites. The most notable attraction being Mehrangarh Fort, definitely the most impressive fort so far.




This temple was referred to be some of the locals as the mini Taj Mahal. We later would find out that was a bit of a stretch but cool regardless.

This guy makes a mean pair of shoes you can count on that.

This palace built by the royal family and at one time was just a residence. Now however it is both a residence and a hotel. Unfortunately you were only able to see a fraction of it if you weren't actually staying in the hotel. Collective disappointment was high.

By the end of a couple days Mark set off to tackle another part of India on his own once again. Lets hope he doesn't get lost.
