Tourisme

Kar ina arrived well yesterday, early morning - a bit tired after a 20 hour journey.

We had a quiet day. A stroll uptown for breakfast at the "Kankarwa Haveli", walking back through the gardens of the City Palace and the Shiw Niwas Hotel to spend a couple of hours at the pool at our hotel. Late lunch at the Gulab Garden and some unpacking followed by a lovely evening walk along the lake at our end and dinner at the hotel.

Today we'll make the city tour by rickshaw, enjoy the garden in the afternoon and the "Light and Sound" at the City Palace at 19:30 followed by dinner somewhere around the Temple.

Tomorrow at 8 am, we have an Ambassador take us tu Kumbalgahr (fort and battlefield) and then to Ranakpur (Jain Temple). We intend to sleep at the Temple (introduced by Mr Harish Pujari who works at the restaurant and who is himself a brahmin (priest) related to the priests at Ranakpur.

We'll travel back to Udaipur by bus on Thursday - and I have no idea how long that will take.

Therefore, no more news on Blog till Friday.
