After waking up in the desert on my birthday we headed out early for Jaipur - Moin's home town and the capital of Rajasthan. Another big city but with Rajasthani charm and of course a few palaces and forts. For my bday (although the camel trip was enough) I wanted to find a swimming pool, so we found a five star hotel that we could pay for swimming facilities (very common in India) and jumped into the cold water - heaven. After indulging in some pool side snacks, we left to meet up Moin to have dinner at his home.
It was wonderful to meet his family, 4 children, wife, sisters, nephews, and mother-in-law. He had such a beautiful, friendly family it was quite a treat to spend some time with them. We ate delicious meal of chicken korma, (the first and only time we will hopefully eat meat in India), and then to my surprise his daughter and sister each took an arm and gave me beautiful traditional henna 'tattoos.' A perfect ending to the day.
