Arrived in Udaipur this afternoon - lake city, think Octopussy and you know what our view is for dinner.
Things ticking along well - all still solid so that is a plus!
Spent last night in a quintessential colonial villa built by a polo playing maharaja. Very lush, was a nice oasis of calm after our hectic afternoon in Jodphur. Decided that we wanted to chill in the shade in the park - not such a good idea, we were surrounded by an audience, they were even eating snacks. Legged it out of there pretty quickly and stumbled across a football game in the local stadium. Suprisingly we were left alone so managed some down time before getting hideously lost making our way back the centre of town - cue screaming kids, narrow streets, no sign of any exit and slightly flustered redfearns.
Have had our fill of guides and forts, temples and palaces so are planning a sleep in tomorrow, maybe some washing and not a lot else.
Hope all is well with everyone

Good to hear from you and glad you are settling down to travelling. The colonial villa sounded more up my street than being lost in the back streets. Jim and Sharyn have just called in to Don and Pauline's to say farewell, on their way back to Chch. Jim seems OK after his Iron Man on Saturday, the boy did well! He says to say Hi. Thinking of you both lots. Enjoy your exciting trip. Love Mum
ReplyDeleteSounds like fun guys :-) Do you reckon you're gonna be able to get some pictures up here? Would love to see what it's like where you are.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to your next installment.
Oh my goodness an audience no less I bet you were out of there in a hurry. Hope you have a good rest and sleep in. Got a job for 10hours a week started today a bit of a shock you will never guess what a parish secretary for HeiHei parish you are not to laugh Anna worried a bit about the things that fall out of my mouth Love Musmy
ReplyDeleteHey you two
ReplyDeleteGreat reading what India is like for two redheads bahahaha... superstars huh. Mate start picking you nose or something when they stare.
Pics, I agree, would be fab. Get to it. We need the sensory overload too. A picture paints a thousand words!!!
I am slightly worried about how C-daug and his stomach will cope in India (Im sure the toilets arent all that buddy). Hmmmmm funny but...
Be safe, enjoy and keep us updated.
Much love Marty xx (1 kiss each)
Marti, am thankfully and surprisingly pleased to report all is well with C Dogs stomach - long may it continue!!!
ReplyDeleteHave added some pics now that we have finally sussed it out - slight Luddites that we are.
I love the pic of the man with the beard. Col I think that's definitely a look you should go for. Though with a touch of ginger and that red beret, you'd look more like a Guantanamo escapee than a colonial throw back. The place looks stunning and don't see even a bead of forehead sweat induced either by climactic conditions or bum clenching!
