Jaipur, India

Jaipur is the capital city of Rhajastan, which is supposedly the most colourful state in India. The city boasts a number of grand palaces, forts, monuments, and all of the buildings in the old city are painted pink.

The Lake Palace.

One of the most interesting places I visited was a 300 year old observatory, which had a number of instruments including the largest sundial in the world – capable of telling time to within 20 seconds. If you look carefully you can see the time shadow near the wall.
