navrati in udaipur
Days 111-114: Water, in sufficient quantities, is a sure-fire salve for the nerves of the most jangled traveller. Udaipur had lots of it. With a whitewashed palace in the middle of a man-made lake made famous by the James Bond movie Octopussy, and a golden-hued palace lining the shore, Udaipur was one of those picture-postcard destinations that we were happy to get to, then take root for a while.
While in Udaipur, we hit upon the local Navrati festival, the hallmark of which was the colourful nightly co-ed stick-dancing in which most of the local youth made an appearance. The whole spectacle was dynamic, vibrant and, we strongly suspected, a great way to meet new babes.

Udaipur is possibly our favourite place in India. And we know what you mean about the view. And the water. We rested here for quite some time and being able to walk everywhere was just such a blessing. Now so elephantine that getting in and out of a car is difficult, we are thinking of you both and hoping the wind down of your travels are fab.
