Udaipur

The bus you will take to Udaipur will be a sleeper. There will be beds above the seats – so you can sleep during the seven hour ride. There will be one slight problem, however - the bus driver will be insane – more so than other drivers. If a truck is moving too slowly, he will drive into oncoming traffic to pass it. But the topper will be the horn he uses to signal. It won’t be a regular “beep” oh, no, no, no. It will be horrible – so, so loud – ear piercing. The only way to describe it is to give a sample. Here’s the sound he will make every time he catches up to, and passes, another vehicle (which will be about once a minute – during the seven hour drive):




Udaipur’s legendary Lake Palace won’t be all it’s supposedly cracked up to be. Udaipur won’t have gotten much rain this season. The palace, which has been described as being “plucked out of a fairy tale”, will find itself unceremoniously dropped into a giant mud hole. It will be less than awe-inspiring. But, the City Palace, the Maharajah’s car collection, and the Monsoon Palace will be cool.










After seeing these things. Leave Udaipur on a plane to Delhi. From there, make the journey home. You will return with more than enough souvenirs, including one for yourself – a parasite. So, it wasn’t the food after all…
