Our disembarkment from the bus in Jaipur was a slight fiasco. It occured on the hottest day we had in India, and during my sickness phase (see India blog).
We had been driving through the city for some time, and we came to a stop. Two men came on board and one asked briskly "Are you for Jaipur?"
To which we replied "Yes."
"This is your stop, get off here." He said.
To which we unloaded our luggage and asked "Are you with Geckos?"
They of course replied "Yes."
However, there were many tuk-tuks and we started to feel that the situation wasn't quite right. Mainly because their attitude was not what we had experienced by our other guides. This was confirmed by them asking us where we needed to go and pointed to get in the tuk-tuks. Of course, if they had been our guides, they should have known where we were going.
Fortunately, I had my mobile phone roaming and we could resolve the situation with little stress. Dheerendra -the true tour guide- came and picked us up in a car within 20 minutes.

Sorry to hear you got sick! Hope South Africa is proving lots better than India :) Glad you liked HK - i spent a week there when i was 6 but not surprisingly i don't remember much! - except lots of people wanting to take pictures of my blond hair and my sisters very curly (at least it was then) hair. Hope you're having a great time!
