Well our quiet day in Mt Abu didn't really turn out as planned...there's a surprise...- ended up at a spiritualist university for brahmakumaris! Our lecture was pretty informative though - they believe in a few things - firstly that we are all made up of light (not sure about that), but they also like a lot of silence, flowers, disco lights and swings! These things are not bad but think they have picked the wrong nation for silence! They have an office in Polmont Terrace so may give them a visit when we get back.
Udaipur was our next destination- but as always getting there was interesting. Now that we have been on a bus in daylight it would appear that driving the wrong way down the motorway is quite normal, just cross the central reservation and you are back on the right side! The road was also a bit bumpy at some points particularly when we were driving through a quarry for half an hour. But we arrived safely and really liked Udaipur - the view from our hotel was the best so far and the Lake Palace was very impressive. But the best bit was watching the bats!- there was loads of them and they were massive like big birds. Only drawback was that we got covered in bat piss! Another one to add to the list.
We then had 2 short stays in Pushkar (Shiva power was strong here!) and Jaipur before heading to Agra and the Taj! We were struggling a bit with the heat by this point as it was 40deg - so think we saw Rajasthan in the nick of time before we started being boiled alive - it goes up to 49deg in May.
