Saturday – Udaipur

Udaipur is certainly the most photogenic place we’ve been. View from the hotel.

Then the sightseeing starting with a boat ride

Looking at the second largest palace in India (1,600 rooms, since you ask). Barely scatched the surface in 2 hours with a guide

They were a bit of fun. Noticed the guides have to be good with photos these days.

But the key part of the palace is the array of miniature paintings, for which Udaipur is famous – and still is apparently. Not photographable but fascinating. So some general pics.

49000 pieces of glass.

Tea.

The guide took us to his favourite (very very scruffy) tea shop – 65 ingredients including tea powder, coffee, ginger, honey, salt, cardomam, black pepper and 58 others that we can’t remember, but wonderful.

Rest, folk dancing and dinner – formed an impromptu group of 8 of us for dinner so lots of travel tips and stories shared.
