And here we are cruising in our own personal chartered boat (no squeezing in with the tourist riffraff) in the lake Pichola which has the Lake Palace hotel in it, or as it is more commonly known, Octopussy's palace.Another crazy day in Udaipur. Did I mention that our tour guide was a priest of the temple of Vishnu in Udaipur so in one of the other temples, he gave Pris and me a blessing complete with the yellow dot on our sixth Chakra (also auspiciously known as the "middle of the forehead"). Then we visited his little shop of antiques, got a tour of his 300 year old house and he gifted me a turban which must be three football fields long, tried it on and after nearly strangling myself I must say I look pretty Bollywood in it.
I'm a little apprehensive about the rest of our trip now since Udaipur is such a great quaint place but there is more to be seen in this country and so tomorrow we are off to Jaipur.

Cute n'yo talaga, with matching outfits pa. Did you know before you arrived in India that everyone else in your tour group had cancelled?
I didn't know so it was a pleasant surprise but apparently my ever efficient wife knew (so no pleasant surprise for her).
Having super fun in India, you and R should go!
It's awesome that you're now enjoying yourselves in India and Udaipur is gorgeous! LOL at the "tourist riffraff" :D

Yeah, when I travel with the wife it's nothing but 1st class treatment for us, but when I'm on my own it's back to $2 a night hostels. Go figure.
