We are now in Udaipur, which is much nicer than Mumbai in all ways! It's still really busy, but it is much smaller and we've met some really friendly people. The train journey here was ridiculously long and slow (22 hours at a snail pace), but we shared a carriage with a really nice Indian couple who kept giving us food and not taking 'no thank you' for an answer!!
Udaipur is supposed to be the Venice of India. It has around 5 lakes and some amazing palaces (one is on top of a mountain and two in the middle of a lake). The lakes and palaces are beautiful, but the city is still crazy. As well as cars and buses, the traffic also consists of motor rickshaws, bicycles, donkeys, camels and elephants!!! Our first rickshaw experience with our big back packs was pretty hairy!! Not managed to get on an elephant, yet, though.
Most people who have spoken to us have wanted to know our opinion on the cricket outrage and want to make sure we are not Australian!
