It’s a very late arrival from the international terminal to the hotel by a 10 minute taxi ride.

There is the obligatory security once-over as we enter the dark lobby and quickly check-in.
A porter and a ‘door opener’ takes us to our room. The room is very simple, with basic amenities. Bottled water is placed on the bedside tables.

I don’t even bother looking in the bathroom but fall on the single bed (it’s a twin room although asked for a double) and manage to get a couple of hours’ sleep despite the incessant barking of dogs throughout the night.

A 4.30am pre-set alarm wakes us up, I jump in the shower, get dressed, check-out, and take a hotel taxi to the Domestic terminal.

  
Jaipur – he we come!
