Arrived in Udaipur yesterday, travelled by jeep from Jodphur (c 12 hour journey by jeep). Stopped off at pottery, carpet village and Bishnoi village (members of the Jain religion lived here) on the way; also stopped off at one of Indias most famous Jain temples. We are currently staying in Old Udaipur, near the lake; last night we had dinner in a beautiful lakeside restaurant overlooking the Summer Palace (which is now a famous hotel) in the middle of the lake, the palace was used in the James Bond film 'Octop**** #39;. This old part of the city is quite quaint (compared to Delhi and Mumbai) and this morning you could see the local people washing themselves, and their clothes, at the lakeside. Tonight we had our first India cookery lesson, with fantastic results, can't wait to get home to practise on my friends!! Tomorrow we have yoga first thing, art classes in the afternoon and cultural show in the evening, so looking forward to another great day.
