No novetat aquest cop amb bus Estem a Udaipur despres de fer un 680 km estirades en una especie de compartiments sleeper accomodation que venen a ser uns matalassos no t'hi miris que tampoc passarien les minimes condicions de seguretat europees.

La verdad es que al final no ha resultado tan turistico porque hemos ido las tres con otras dos chicas holandesas bastante muermos y no nos hemos encontrado a casi nadie.Los camellos estaban muy bien cuidados y los camalleros eran majisimos iban haciendo bromas y explicando algunas cosas del desierto. http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/India/Rajasthan/Jaisalmer/blog-313916.html nous voila arriver a bundi petit village a 8h de bus d udaipur il s agit d un petit village sans aucun magasin touristique ce qui lui donne beaucoup de charme en effet il est tres rare de croiser des touristesnous visitons un fort abandonne sur les hauteurs les seuls habitants sont des singes souvent argneux et a la recherche du moinbdre truc a voler hier nous avions loue des velos et apres 15km d http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/India/Rajasthan/Bundi/blog-313832.html Itrsquos has been awhile since the last update. Looking backhellipWaiting at Falma train station we got our first taste of lsquoIndia late train frustration.rsquo To be on the safe side we arrived at the station an hour early. How naive Of course the train was delayed for over two hours so we sat sweating on a concert slab for over three hours.

We've seen some fairly impressive things here. Upon arrival last night we ate at the OM Restaurant a revolving restaurant like the Space Needle but it seemed more exotic because we are in India. It was the nicest restaurant we've eaten at in the last 11 weeks and we almost forgot how to act in such a place. I realized half way through my me http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/India/Rajasthan/Jaipur/blog-312879.html After Udaipur we made the short journey to Pushkar for one night. The city is an important Hindu pilgramage center. It's built around a holy lake that has more than 50 ghats where people come to bathe. We had heard many travelers talk of how wonderful the small town is so we were quite excited to arrive. Turns out we weren't too impressed. The many shops catering to tourists made the town http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/India/Rajasthan/Pushkar/blog-312873.html Este pais es un gran bazar que provoca al viajero en cada rincon. Desde que llegamos a Pushkar hasta ahora hemos perdido el control sobre nosotras mismas... pero tranquilos la rotura de bolsillo suele ser en pequenyas cantidades y cunde un monton. En una callejuela de Pushkar nos metimos en la trastienda de una tienda de ropa hecha con restos de saris y cosas de segunda mano.

I do not believe that my observations opinions encompass India as a whole and I willingly admit there must be exceptions http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/India/Rajasthan/blog-312758.html The city of Udaipur is a city of palaces and peasants owned by a Maharaja. It is really a pleasant respite with stray cows wandering everywhere. The city is much cleaner than Mumbai but it is also far more touristy begging the question is it the 'real' India Nevertheless it was a welcome change to Mumbai.Udaipur's claim to fame is it's part in the James Bond film 'Octopussy.'

The journey was pretty uncomfortable as it was some sort of tourist bus but for Indian tourists i.e. no air conditioning no break from the Bombay Bollywood Music and no break from the ldquowhich countryrdquo questions. We eventually arrived into Udaipur but our arrival happened to coincide with the heaviest rain we have seen yet.

We stayed at a beautiful hotel Jaiwana Haveli which was right on Lake pichola and our room over looked the lake. It was great eating breakfast and often dinner on their rooftop restaurant overlooking the lake.We spent a day visiting the ci http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/India/Rajasthan/Udaipur/blog-309594.html After a 6 hour train ride with Dora and Sponge Bob and Daddy we arrived at Jodhpur. While Jaipur was the pink city Jodhpur was the blue city. We stayed a really neat guesthouse called Durag Niwas. The couple who owned it had a boy my age so there was lots of toys and a friend to play with. They also had a little fountain in the courtyard which I turned into a swimming poolbath.The main attr http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/India/Rajasthan/Jodhpur/blog-309166.html It was very hot when we arrive in Jaipur from Agra.
