We started the day at the Hawa Mahal or the palace of winds
which was an extension of the city palace women's quarters. It was a place where the royal ladies could observer
everyday city life without being seen. We just stopped and took a picture without going inside. Then we headed
to the Amber Fort where we got to ride elephants up to the fort.
On the hill above the Amber fort we could see the
Jaigarh Fort which we did not visit. Then we went to the City
Palace where the current Maharajah lives in part of the palace (not open to the public) and there are also some
museums where we could not take pictures. Then we walked down the street to the Jantar
Mantar - the observatory of Jai Singh II. The large silver jar was made for Maharaja Sawai Mado Singh to
take Ganges water to drink while on a trip to England (there are two of the jars).
