Udaipur.... after 24 hours on a bus!

After changing multiple buses, no ac, 90 heat, a packed bus, 22 hours we finally arrived in Udaipur.  Udaipur, what a different city to mumbai.  The guest house we stayed in was amazing, roof top views of the palaces, the lake, sunset, even 8am yoga which only ollie was up in time to do! Every restaurant we ate at had a roof top where you could eat over looking the palaces and the lake.

Once here we went and saw the largest palace in India, not before a little bit of camera trouble as we tried to us a used camera pass... didn't realize half was already missing.  Eventually had to buy a new one.

It was the day of davali, the biggest festival of the year we there where fireworks everywhere.  While having dinner it was basically like having a panoramic firework display.  Outside our room kids lit of fire crackers and other fireworks for  9 hours straight and continued this on the next day.  Late that night Raju (guest house owner) took us to the festival which was crowded, lights and candles everywhere and with dancing horses and camels.

Met loads of locals, one invited us into his house where he should us his art work and we lite fireworks off on his roof.  Ollie even managed to find one who liked crystals as much as him.  He took him to his workshop on the back of his motorcycle.... an experience in its self.  Pretty sure he is sending crystals out to America!!!

Pictures Coming soon!!!!
