Udaipur

Udaipur has been the best city yet. It has a very laid back feel to it compared to some of the other cities. It is also cleaner and has less beggars which is bonus. Here there are many lakes, but unfortunately most of them are pretty low. One of the main attractions is the floating palace, and at night it is amazing. The way the lights bounce off the water and light up the palace are beautiful. There is also a beautiful garden at the top of one of the mountains, but we didn't get any pics of it. We have spent a few days here and it is nice to have settled a little bit. When we first arrived to India we were traveling fast. We were planning on leaving 3 days ago, but we changed our plans to be an extra in a film that they were filming here. The funny thing is that we didn't even do the film. They lied about a few of the details and didn't give us dinner. We hadn't eaten all day because we thought we were getting a free dinner, and when they told us they weren't giving us one we left. We were just too hungry. We have been spending a lot of time out at the edge of the lake practicing fire poi. This has been nice and relaxing. We also found a little gym where we can work out for free. It is nice to get something in every once in awhile. So tonight we head for Delhi and then on to Amiristar. Amiristar is home to the Golden Temple and it is supposed to battle the Taj for it's beauty. We are really looking forward to getting back on track and seeing new things. Our bus leaves in about 2 hours. Also in just 6 days we will be in Nepal. Can't wait for that :o)
