Well tomorrow is our last full day in Udaipur. It has been simply magical. Today Matt and I hiked up another mountain to another fantastic viewing point of the entire city. It took our breath away. It's at these moments where I am truly in awe about being here...I am so grateful.
We have really kind of nestled in to a little routine here. We get up every morning and go to Edelweiss, our little European Bistro for breakfast, a big one! We usually have 4 chais to drink, an omelett, a multigrain roll with jam and butter and Matt usually has an apple strudle at the end - piglet! It keeps us going for all of our treking, until later in the afternoon where we head to our roof top for beers and a cheese masala parantha. For all you carb lovers out there, you would die over this. Almost like naan bread stuffed with spices, cheese, tomato and onion. YUM! India is a carb lovers dream!!
We then usually head for a late dinner, but last night just had a vegetarian dinner at our hotel b/c we were too exhausted to move. We went on a day trip to a HUGE fort called Chittogarh, which stands on a 28 square km site - the biggest in all of Asia- will post pics soon.
So the day after tomorrow we head to Jodhpur, the blue city, for some sighteeing then we are off to Pushkar, a small pilgrimage town where there are supposedly many hippy westerners and great shopping!
We are slowly becoming more and more comfortable to the wild sites, sounds and smells of India. But I am certain there is more shock value to come!
Missing you all terribly!
Love Vee,
xxoo

Thanks so much for the blog post and the e-mails. I am sure everyone really appreciates being able to know where you are and what you have been up to. I will continue to post here in the hopes that we can get some kind of interaction going on. Much more fun I would think. The breakfast sounds amazing and the naan bread carb lovers dream need to be replicated (if possible) when you return home. Why the change to the itinerary? Did you discover somehting new. The panoramic photo from the rooftop takes my breath away. I would imagine that the colours of Inida would stimulate the artist's soul in new and exciting ways.
ReplyDeleteI have finished "A Fine Balanace" Did you take it with you to India Vee? if so how are you enjoying it. I am now on to the Peter Mayle book you bought for us for Christmas. A very enjoyable light read focussing on wine.
Safe travels to Jodhpur. I wonder if they wear jodhpurs there and ride horses?!!
Love

We will post a better panorama shot of the city at night in the next few days. I think it's one of the best photos I've ever taken...
