Day 3-10. A messy week in Northern India!

Ok, apologies first for not updating the blogs, we've been in places where the internet is about as popular as a clean street in Delhi. Anyways, we left Delhi to head to Agra to see the Taj Mahal. The place is amazing from the outside but the inside isn't anything special. We were there long...

Venice. Not.

Udaipur. The Venice of the East. Just without the gondolas. Or canals. Or Cornettos. But it's actually quite nice. Fairly peaceful (these things are all relative) and a bit cooler. The focal point is Lake Pichola, and the two man-made islands on it. One is Jagmandir Island, which is home to a...

Udaipur, Rajasthan

After Pushkar we headed down the road (well down the road by Indian standards) to the the lake side city of Udaipur, as seen in the James Bond movie 'Octopussy'. We decided to blow the hotel budget again (another tenner or so a night) and booked into a suite at the Hotel Anjani. The...
