To reach Udaipur, we had to ascend steep hills (for the ones of you coming from countries with rather flat geological characteristics - you may even call them mountains). I really enjoyed the views from my window. What a difference to the desert!
At one stage of our journey, at least 200 monkeys flanked the road and one passenger had brought bread to feed them. Obviously, this is an ordinary spectacle!
Further down, we saw an accident. A big truck and a car must have crashed, broke through the crash-barrier (which was made of bricks) and slid down the slope for about 100m. The ambulance was at the place of accident, but I don't think that anyone could have survived. I'm actually not surprised at all. The Indian manner of driving is a trifle dangerous, especially when overtaking.
At the hotel in Udaipur, I asked the receptionist if he would have a single room. He was counting money and answered that he doesn't have a single room. Only a double. I then inquired how much it would cost. "500, ..., 400" was his answer. "OK, I take it for 400Rs!" He thought about it and finally nodded agreement. He denied my question about the pool and I almost wanted to leave already, but he was only joking.
The room is spacious and the bathroom clean and is even equipped with both towel and toilet paper! Yeah, this is like Christmas!
The garden around the pool is very nice and the pool is freezing...
