On the road again!
Time to head south to Jaipur! Some of the modes of Indian transportation are, shall I say, interesting. And heaven help you if toilet needs come up along the way. 
At most of the rest stops (and pretty much everywhere in public) there are open tiled walls that are aromatic at best ... dehydration seems like a better and better alternative. But it turns out there are deluxe A/C buses from Delhi to Jaipur, complete with proper rest stops. 
6 hours later we arrive! I'm so excited about the upcoming Pushkar camel fair. Along the drive it looks like the pilgrimage to Pushkar is starting. Camels bedecked and bedazzled are trotting along the road. Wow, that's a long haul even for a camel!
Atitha Guest House ... the cleanest guest house I've seen. Nothing like a hotel owner that has a bit of neatness OCS! There are people washing, wiping, and cleaning all day ... when they finished at one corner they start over again. Gasp, a cockroach ran across the dining room floor and 3 of them scrambled on the floor after it, everything flying. Don't know if the poor critter made it out with his life.
A huge clean room, private bath with shower ... hold onto your hat, it's a real shower (albeit cold) and TWO towels. I'm dancing! No toilet paper, but hey, a girl can't have everything.
