If we were visiting India, we were recommended to visit Jaipur as it has lots to give.
When we look at the weather forecast of 39c whole week ahead, it was quite daunting, considering it's also a place we have no connection and have never been and exploring with an 8 year old during a quick Easter trip.
My 8 year old son is quite a seasoned traveller from very young age, so he was quite excited to explore and he has been a pleasure to travel with.
We prayed and hoped for a good taxi driver as our guide.
The taxi driver we meet was truly godsend and happened to be a wonderful gentleman with very reasonable taxi charge.
We told him we want to see elephants and camels, palace, forts, museums and visit the Pink City, that we were not there for shopping but my son would like a Geode stone.
He fitted us to all and took us to good clean restaurant used by locals.
He was just a wonderful honest Muslim gentleman, performing his fasting of Ramadan.
In such a short tight schedule, we managed to tour the Pink City, Amber Palace, Sheesh Mahal, (hall of mirrors), Fascinating Albert Hall Museum, spend time in Elephant Sanctuary, camel ride and a visit to gem stones for a Geode.
We suffered no illness and no dreaded stomach problems.
We had just one of the fantastic times. We just love Mr Hameed, he is such a top gentleman.
