New Delhi To Jaipur - Taxi Ride

After a comfortable flight on Thai Air, we arrived in New Delhi and found our not-so-comfortable taxi that would take us to Jaipur - another 5 hours down the road.



Here's the inside of our cab. Beads and Hindu idols for good luck and a dashboard covered with Elmo fur so we could cruise in style.


Our first stop was the gas station where we filled up on Natural Gas.


An inauspicious beginning. The first thing we saw was a wreck. This RC was in the process of being pulled back on its wheels after blocking the road for about 20 minutes. In the five hour journey we saw another 4 over-turned trucks. On the last leg of our journey from Agra to New Delhi we came across another accident - this time it was a motorcycle and a bus. The bus won.


Here I am taking a break along the dusty road to Jaipur.

Overall, not the most pleasant journey, but we certainly had it better than these guys.
