Agra to Udaipur

Our trip to Udaipur was another interesting experience. This was our first bus trip. We got a sleep seat which was new to us on a bus. The bus actually had sections that had full on double and single beds. The were not the most spacious, but it was nice to lay down. We have been on many long bus journeys and I can always remember wanting to lay down instead of in a seat.
The worst part was that the beds were really dirty. I don't think they had ever been washed. We were worried that it would make us sick. Matt ended up getting a little bug not too bad though. I think it was combination the dirtiness and the lack of rest. Once again the scheduled journey was to last about 12 hours. Sure enough we were on the bus for about 17 hours. The night freezing cold because the windows would not stay shut do to how bumpy the road was. I couldn't sleep for about 2 hours because I needed to pee so bad. I tried going in a bottle, but I just couldn't do it. Eventually the driver had to go so I jumped out as well. Then in the morning my compartment was facing the sun and basically turned into an oven. We were all excited to arrive in Udaipur.
