Thankfully today was going to be a relaxed day. If that is possible in India... First thing was first. The females of the group wanted their palms read by a recommended reader. This was a process that the males were not interested in in the slightest! Soooo one by one the returned from the table across the room with inked up palms to enlighten us with what they had learnt. Some came back happy from the experience including Emily, others were told bad things like...

Early morning coach trip to Udaipur. We were all thoroughly annoyed with all the pothole roads, constant horn blowing and the crazy unnescesary rush to get everywhere! We arrived in Udaipur and we were once again pleasently surprised with the accomodation. We had an orientation walk around the town and were lucky to find that we had arrived the day that a festival was going on. Udaipur is famous for its miniture paintings.

A new skill I have learnt is to stealth swim up to pidgeons drinking at the other en...

The 5.30am start was offensively early. It had obviously meant our intelligence was hindered as we weren't prepared for the 25 minute drive on the open top jeep bus! Me and Emily managed to grab seats near the front which meant we had a wind block. The others had to suffer the cold wind in shorts and sunglasses!! Everyone on board were using bags as clothing. I can't explain how funny this was for me and Emily sitting in the wind free zone. So funny in fact we HA...
