Out of the mountains and back to the city

After a couple of weeks in the mountains it was good to get back to a "normal" Indian city - as if any Indian city could be normal.
Udaipur was one of the places that the snow in England had deprived us of early in our trip. So now that we had an open schedule (all Laura's pre-India planning had now come to an end) we took the opportunity to …

En route vers la quietude d'Udaipur

La route menant de Jodhpur a Udaipur fut simplement magnifique... La temperature descend de 5 degres reduisant ainsi l'usage de la climatisation. Les paysages verdoyants s'offrent a nous au meme titre que les singes langpur poses au bord de la route tels des villageois assistant a une etape du tour de France.. La nature y a tous ses droits, ce qui …

Unwinding in Udaipur

Beth has just informed me that I am a disgrace to international blogging due to my inability to spend longer than 5 mins in a cyber cafe (more like sweat boxes) but I have at last found a rather posh one that not only has air-con but sells rather yummy hot chocolate. Therefor I will attempt to bring you up to date on our travels...

Romance in the city

We boarded the night bus to udaipur with trepidation, this was our first ever "sleeper bus". you get a berth instead of a seat. Apart from the fact that the double berth was smaller than a single bed it was actually ok, we got some sleep despite the road being pretty much unsealed all the way. It was also a bonus not to have the usual neck crick …

Just checking in . . .

I'm just checking in for those of you who have expressed concern (Dad) if they don't hear from me every other day. But this computer bugs so I'm not writing on it too long. I will update maybe tomorrow on my trip so far to Ranakpur (LOVE!!!!!!) and Udaipur. Tomorrow I will write from Pushkar if I can, otherwise from Jaipur the following day. Love …

The White City

Udaipur, 'The White City' is prettiest town I've been to so far in India. It's situated on a lake where the local Maharaja built two palaces on, to go with the ones he built in the city fort. The place is pockmarked with rooftop cafe offering, "The best view in town", "the highest rooftop in town" etc. Each year apparently they add another storey …

Day 12: Udaipur

I head north at a gentle pace towards Fateh Sagar, a second smaller lake. Over the bridge is much wealth, mansions, palatial hotels, tidy gardens and blossoming yellow and flame trees, yet it's not hard to find poverty. A boy roots around in a dumpster, a man in a blackened shirt sits idly on the pavement, a couple sift through the trash by the …

Travellers illnesses strike

We're in a place called Udaipur now, to get here it took 8 hours by train, 8 hours sitting in a smog filled city waiting for a bus then 6 hours on a sleeper bus, we finally arrived in the early hours of tuesday then had a frihtening wait on a deserted street while we tried to find a taxi to take us into town. By chance we ended up in a lovely hotel …
