Arrival in Jodhpur
I arrived here in Jodhpur early this morning after a long busride from Bundi. Bundi was the first place in India I was sort of sad to depart from--all the other places, I've been glad I was there and then glad to leave. But it was time to leave Bundi--I ran out of things to do, and was getting malevolant vibes from the monkeys. The monkeys cornered me in one of the painting rooms in the fort in Bundi, in the part of the fort I had to pay to get in, and then they stole my nalgine bottle and sat trying to get it open right in the doorway of the only exit of the room/cortyard. I had to shout at them and threaten them, to which they hissed and showed their teeth, until the fort attendant guy came and rescued me.
Anyway, I'm glad to be here in Jodhpur--it seems like a great small city, very bustling and busy, a lot of character. My hotel is great, and in a quiet part of the city; my room looks directly onto the giant fort which towers over this city. I took the good advice of some other travellers I met in Bundi. I'm kind of waiting for the city to wake up, and then I'm going to sleep through the hot part of the day cause I'm tired from the busride.
I'm in a bad mood now, just groggy from the bus and tired of every single Indian man trying so hard to be my best friend, so I'm going to quit writing before I say anything bitchy.
