This morning we had breakfast in our hotel restaurant. It seems to have become our "go-to" place here as the quality is good and they have a decent variety on the menu (Indian, American, Italian, German etc). I felt like I really needed some comfort food by this point so I ordered scrambled eggs (which came with a free bread basket - awesome!). Just as I was finishing my meal, I noticed that Emily had a strange expression on her face. I followed her gaze to the corner of the restaurant where I saw a large mouse nibbling on what was going to be the next customer's bread basket. Maybe it's free because you have to share it with the mice? I'll try not to think about it too much...
After breakfast, the 4 of us set out for a day of bazaars etc. It must have rained a lot overnight because the manholes were all backed up and sewage/rainwater was flooding the street outside our hotel. We shimmied along the edge of a couple of buildings before making it to drier ground and the rest of the day went more smoothly.

A staircase that led to good vantage point to take photos of. I didn't even realize when I took a picture of this archway that there were two people taking a picture of me at the time.

We did a bit of shopping, spent a bit of time online booking stuff etc and had an early dinner at our hotel (even after this morning, it still seems less sketchy than most other restaurants around here), before Jenn and I had to head off to the train station. I hope I'll get to see Emily and Chris again at some point - they were a lot of fun and great folks to travel with. What luck to have all ended up at the same jewelry shop in Jaipur even though none of us had any intentions of buying any jewelry. :P

Jenn and I caught our overnight train to Rishikesh at 10:20pm. Once your tickets are booked, the train system is a good way to travel. It was very relaxing and we did actually get some sleep on our car.
