Udaipur is one of those 'Venice of the ...' cities. It is very pretty, kind of like a Greek fishing village with arches etc... This is the first thing I saw getting off the bus:
It's also cheaper than Mumbai, here's what you can get for 400 rupees (that's about $12) in Mumbai:
And here's 400 in Udaipur, with toilet, shower, and a mattress that works:
The view from my room:
View from the restaurant on top of the hotel:
The city from the other side of the lake (ghat):
Cow deciding to take a rest at the middle of an intersection:
City palace:
Tiled room in the palace:
Random temple:
Look closer, money changers in the temple!
Procession going past my taxi:
Pretty Indian girl (I think she's already married Julia):
All in all, Udaipur is a lovely tourist town. It's pretty much heaven for my mum, with all the jewelry and silverwork. There are touts and scammers sure, but coming from Mumbai they seem pretty quaint. Udaipur is kind of like Strahan compared to Hobart, outside of the tourist areas there's not much going on. It's very nice, but so's Maine.
Things I've learnt: A few words in Hindi go a long way.
Status of poos: Still runny but solidifying.
