continue our journey by visiting Jaipur Rajasthan. Is said to be the Pink City as a result of the visit of the Prince of Wales in 1876, the Maharaja ordered to paint the entire city of that color as it denotes hospitality ... making dark, with the Maharaja! sure the paint is not any. Within the old town, countless bazaars put the patience of a proof, that if it Penh Curran and instead of a pashmina plantarte before the eyes and a half push toward his tent, pulling a tear repertoire, sincere smile with phrases like: "Finally, I have all day waiting for you!". 
From Jaipur we visited the nearby Amber Fort Maharajas lived here for centuries and the strong still too awesome. Most curious is the caravan of elephants loaded with tourists who climb the steep slopes that give access to the site. We went, in part because it seems that animals are not treated very well and partly by respect (read: shit) that will produce these living dinosaurs.
Jaipur
We could not leave without speak of Bollywood. It's amazing production and the universe moves around the Indian film industry ... I think the movies Americans do not charge a single euro in this country. Well, the thing is that we got into the "Raj Mandir" most popular film and tacky to Jaipur to see "Sunday." The movie in question was like a mixture of Esteso and Ozores, with a pinch of Cantinflas and special effects style cartoon batman all with a dramatic plot to murder and everything. That if any Bollywood movie has its moments included musical and dance are to take off my hat ... is the best adaptation of a traditional dance to modern dance I've ever seen. In penha loves to dance and do it with a naturalness that men should learn Iberian-bar.
Leaving the city to address the national park Ranthambhore sadly one of the few sanctuaries where you can still see tigers in the wild ... the numbers were not very friendly (they said they had between 12-25 tigers in the entire park), but still was a golden opportunity to see, in my point of view, most beautiful animal that exists ... ... to the Tigre scares! We the bets on one card, we would go on safari manhana ... we were in a sort of open 4x4 bus, into the path we assign 5 (a bus that arrives each are giving him is not massively different routes to a area). The guide tells us that tigers usually go to the piltra at 08:00, at the time were 7:15 so we had little time. Eight o'clock struck and I began to suspect that my flower had not worked this time, but we suddenly silent and we send a few jeeps stopped on the road. Peazo two tigers were lying by the digestion of a deer of which only the calves and the skull. The next we had about 20 meters and did not stop to take pictures, but it was harder to come ... a few yards ahead was another 2 half asleep and the dominant male looked at all from the top of the road. We moved a bit and we stuck them on the bus, have an incredible and plasticity to move off a lot of strength in every movement. An experience not easily forget ... IM-PRESIONANTEEE!
momentazo after replacing the tiger and the cold to suck to see them (we almost birds), leave Rajasthan to reach Agra in Uttar Pradesh. Agra road is the town of Fatehpur Sikri than a few anhos was the capital of the Mughal empire under the reign of Akbar the Great, but due to problems with water supply was abandoned in favor of Agra. In the city the remains of its glorious past however fleeting, with huge doors and a central courtyard is well preserved. Inside the white building you see behind me in the photo was covered with mother of pearl and precious. 
Pero pasemos a Agra y a su famoso Taj Mahal, un mausoleo construido por Shah Jahan para su difunta esposa Mumtaz Mahal, completamente realizado en un magnifico y durisimo marmol blanco. Esta descomunal tarea involucro a 20000 hombres en 22 anhos de trabajo...antes de nada decidme que es mas bonito el grandioso monumento o la sonrisa de la pequenha en primer plano. Visitamos el Taj al amanecer para poder disfrutar de los cambios de colores que experimenta con los primeros rayos de sol y para librarnos de las masas...aunque siempre hay gente. El resultado ahi os va.
travel from Agra to the southeast to visit Khajuraho, a village with Pequenho a century temples X-stopping, not only by the beauty of their carvings but also for the reason of them. Mil and sexual positions surrounded by figures of women with a clearly sensual. It's a mystery why the sexual decoration in these temples, some say the physical pleasure (Bhoga) is one of the possible ways to get rid of evil and attain nirvana, at the same level as the yoga gets it in the spiritual plane .... seems to me right! Apart from the sexual theme CONH honestly this has been one of the most beautiful places of India, for me, if the statue was left alone like me more than the Venus de Milo ... look at the ease of movement. 
Finally we come to Orchha, a Pequenho and forgotten population with a good punhao of historic buildings each day attracts more tourists. For the people walking Sadhus, ascetic monks originally are seeking nirvana through a life of hardship, but the truth is that it seems that some currently seeking nirvana through more direct and less painful ... the alms and drugs tursitas . We have visited recently, our intestines had other priorities ... but the sunset over the river Betwa was spectacular. 
A fundamental aspect of life in India's hospitality, we will have experienced many times since we've been here and always sincere, and a little overwhelming. Starting Vivek's family in Delhi and Jaipur Haseen. A Haseen we met in Madrid at the home of Marco, a working companhero Marta, we gorge until it fills curries which ... turkeys Galician grandmother type. As it was in Jaipur when we arrived, we received Saleem, one of his brothers. After taking a sovereign displeasure at the little time we stayed in the city and not visit his house was rebuilt and it took us a ride, show us your jewelry store "Hakim Gems" in Chameli Wala Market, with end gift included and invited us to dinner. Thank you for the welcome, hope to have the opportunity to return someday. For those of you living thinking that you shines CONH both face to John in the picture? ... To let you know that is because the oils used in Ayurvedic massage that evening we gave (you have to like much to you Sobenes everywhere to enjoy the subject.) 
The height of entertainment takes place at the wedding, we are in time of weddings and nightly fireworks Aritificial and music sound indicating the arrival of the groom. In Jaipur, Saleem He recommended you enter a time to see everything inside ... to us was pretty embarrassed (the I had no tie on the bag and the pints were a bit cheesy) but as we set foot inside, people rushed to greet us, talk to us, inviting us to dance, food and crawl toward us with all the family photos. As weddings here last for several days if the rogue starting FIXED invite you to rest! a pity that we we had to go. Graphic evidence of the revelry above.
The gastronomic note today is headed by the fantastic "Afghani Chicken", a sort of skewered grilled chicken accompaniment, with a yogurt sauce that leaves us drooling just remember (and not just because we are a diet our "little problems" stomach). We tested in Jaipur, in the restaurant Rosham Palace to recommend to anyone who passes through there. We would also like to speak of Lassi, basically yogurt liquid yogurt but with truth as he drank when we were babies. Finally we tested a typical dish of southern India, dosas, a sort of giant savory crepes made from rice flour, crisp and delicious. 
Orchha means the end of our trip with our guide, driver and friend Vivek. We are delighted to have chosen this option, because otherwise it would have taken twice as long to make the same journey and we would not have learned so much about India first hand. Vivek "Tiger" you will be sorely Kaushik less. Now we begin the second stage, we go by train to Varanasi and back to our slightly more leisurely pace after the beating of these weeks.
's all from the front. Keep you informed.
