On the road to Udaipur and arrival to hotel. As you can see the
roads were lively again this morning on our way to Udaipur. They
call these chestnut horn cattle and some horns are painted. They
also love to eat cardboard. The road changes for us as we climb
along hills. It’s very dry as well and the rain is welcome for
so many crops, fruit trees and other vegetation. Many stone
walls have been built – these are small farm plots. We stop to
take photos of ladies washing and men sitting. The water is
brought up with the help of the cattle. You see lots of these
along the way and others that are used for grinding wheat and
other grains. Our lunch stop brings some flowers and a very
handsome turtle…then it’s time for a glass of wine as we wind
our way down to Udaipur. Another stop to take phots of fox bats
hanging in trees just by the road. Finally we are at our last
hotel and it is so welcome for many reasons. The view itself is
stunning and sitting on top of a hill with no noises except the
owner of the hotels dogs (they also own City Palace) and a few
peacocks it is glorious. Time stands still for us now, we enjoy
afternoon tea and welcome rest until tomorrow. I have included
many photos of the hotel because it is full of history and
charm. The valley surrounding it is full of growing plots and it
is interesting as they do not use the big sprinklers you
normally see, they flood each area with large hoses. Sunset over
Udaipur and the City Palace.
