Said goodbye to my driver, gave him 600 Ru tip and explained to him when he complained about it that maybe next time he should listen to what the paying customer wants. Happy to be on my own again! Took the train to Jodhpur and met fellow RTW traveler Rika from Japan who is on a one year trip. We were the only foreigners on the train :) In Jodhpur we checked into a nice guest house in old town and had dinner at the rooftop underneath the illuminated citadel. And I must say I already like it here. People are more friendly and less annoying, the air is a tiny bit cleaner and the city looks more interesting :)
Sagte meinem Fahrer Auf Wiedersehen, gab ihm 600 Ru Trinkgeld und erklaerte ihm als er sich darueber beschwerte, dass er das naechste Mal vielleicht darauf hoeren sollte, was der zahlende Gast moechte
. Endlich wieder auf mich allein gestellt! Nahm den Zug nach Jodhpur und traf dabei Rika aus Japan, die auch auf einer Weltreise ist. Allerdings fuer ein Jahr. Wir waren die einzigen Auslaender im Zug :) Angekommen in Jodhpur checkten wir in ein nettes Guest House (Lakshmi Niwas) und hatten unser Abendessen oben auf der Dachterrasse, unterhalb der beleuchteten Festung. Und ich muss sagen ich mag es bereits viel besser hier. Die Menschen sind wesentlich freundlicher und weniger aufdringlich, die Luft ist ein kleines bischen sauberer und die Stadt sieht viel interessanter aus :)
