Time to move on. We spent most of the day travelling from Jaipur to Jodhpur which turned out to be more interesting than it sounds.
People drive on the left over here, except when they don’t. That turns out to be remarkably often.
As with the journey from Delhi to Jaipur, the trip from Jaipur to Jodhpur is basically a couple of long motorway class roads.
- Except that lorries tend to drive in the right hand lane and expect people to pass on the inside.
- There are speed bumps at major intersections that would rip the bottom off your car if you don’t slow down.
- On more than one occasion we saw trucks and scooters coming towards us on the wrong side of the carriageway.,
- And we saw a goat herder trying to get his flock of goats across two lanes of busy motorway.
And everybody acts as though this is perfectly normal, so it is.
