So since our last update we have made it out of Mumbai, but with a few little adventures to get us here!
we did go back into the thick of it down in Mumbai, but this time got a train - womens only carriages are definitely the way forward, didn't fancy hanging on for dear life with all the men! we finally found some grass on the Oval Maiden, the university could have been right in the middle of Cambridge! wandered some art galleries and chowpatty beach. we prepared for our 18 hour bus journey with our first dhal, probably of many, and set off for the bus station. sure enough we were there on time, being british and all, but the bus was not! two entertaining hors later with lots of help from local men we were to be found chasing the wrong bus down the highway with packs and all. gesticualtion didn' get us far, thank goodnss for another english speaking man, seriously they area godsend!
we finally made it onto our lovely air-con bus with double bed, for 18 wonderful hours, arriving into Udaipur just before lunch. We wre taken to a lovely hotel, right on the lake side. saw our first elephant as we were walking down the street, and got a brilliant tour around the city palace. colours and shopping here are aramazing, literaly in our element, though haggling ability needs practice. we are now about to go and watch the sunset on top of a mountain over the city the rickshaw ride shold be entertaining!
tomorrow Pushkar.... we will be in touch!
