My last stop before I leave India as I have decided to travel more of Asia rather than going to Europe the next country I am travelling to is Thailand. The weather in India had reached 48oC so I was only able to go out for a couple hours in the day because it was unbearable. Kolkata (Calcutta) is the place of Mother Teresa and it is a very poor area. After finding the hostel I did some exploring. There is a vote among India in the next couple of days so there w...

So after a sleepless messy night (I wont give details) I was extremely tired, unwell and grouchy. We checked out of the hostel and went to find somewhere for breakfast. Due to my dodgy tummy i decided to stick to toast hoping it would stay down....i dont know how ...

The journey to Udaipur wasn't as smooth as the bus trip to Jodhpur as very early on I needed the toilet and when i asked when we were planning to stop the bus pulled over and the man pointed to a very open, empty field and when I shook my head he said 10 minutes....2hours later unable to sleep we finally stopped at a petrol station.
