Hidden in the surrounding hills of Jaipur is the famed Monkey Temple. As the name suggests its filled with monkeys, swimming, playing, and begging for food. It was also filled with lots of Indian tourists making the pilgrimage to this holy spot to bathe in the holy pools and feed the monkeys. It was quite a trek up and down a huge hill to reach it, but worth the exhaustion.
Moin took us around the town to run errands, including Paul's new Indian haircut and shave. We did some shopping, Maddie bought a few rings and a toe ring, and a few Indian pillow cases. That night we got aruyvedic massages, a must have experience in India. After stripping down to nothing and having a masseuse put a loin cloth over our genitals, we laid down on the massage table and were literally drenched in healing aruyvedic oils. An up close and personal massage, but a relaxing and moisturizing hour, all for only 15 dollars.
Our last night in Rajasthan, our last day with Moin - we were so sad to see him go, we had such a good time getting to know him and his country. We had dinner in our rooftop peacock adorned restaurant in the Hotel Pearl Palace, and got ready to set off on our own.
