The last day we spent in Varansi was very nice. On the evening that i wrote the last blog we went to The German Bakery and had an amazing meal, so the next day we centred our day around having a long lunch there (consisting of an incredible chocolate brownie sunday with hot fudge sauce!) before yoga. I really enjoyed our yoga class, we spent the first half of it doing breathing exercises and then went on to do various positions. It really did relax me and it was ...

Hello!! Well the train took a lot longer than expected! We finally arrived in Varanasi at 12pm. The train was comfortable enough, we were origanally in 3 tier A.C. but Jess managed to skillfully get us upgraded to 2 tier A.C (which is significantly nicer!).

We went on a boat ride with the couple from Austra...

But i shall let you know what i spend it on! On the 22nd we had very short d...

2 days until my birthday!! On the 19th we had the day to look around Udaipur, we had no tour guide but it only a small city so there was no problem in us finding sights. First of all we went to the city palace. We payed for a tour guide to take us around and he gave us some really interesting pieces of information, the palace wasn't as pretty or as impressive as some of the others we have seen but worth doing nonetheless. Jess and I then had a mooch around the c...
