City of Romance

After a couple of days hectic travelling on the ram packed buses we've arrived in the romantic city of Udaipur. It's set into a beautiful valley with mist covered hills and two huge lakes which are totally surrounded by rooftop restaruants with stunning views. Part of the james bond movie 'Octopussy' was filmed here at the lake palace!

It's been great to chill out here and take some time for a bit of sunbathing and reading. It's a bit of a social faux pas to take off your shirt or even wear shorts here, so the tanlines will be pretty horrific on our return!

It's pretty touristy here given the sublime setting making it impossible to walk down the street without being hassled constantly by people wanting to sell you stuff. It'll be nice to head down to Gujarat where it's a bit less touristy.
