So I thought I would do another update :)
So after Jaisalmer we headed to Jodhpur where we saw an amazing fort that overlooks the entire city. It was a long bus ride to get there and we only had the day as we were leaving in the morning to go to Udaipur. We made the most of our time by getting up to see the fort which took a long time but was definetly worth it. We headed back around dinner time, ate, and really just headed to bed. Early in the morning we were on the road again. We didn't arrive in Udaipur until 5pm so we literally had a full day of driving. After spending so much time in the bus we headed straight out to see some of the city. We saw a major celebration that was at the centre of the city to celebrate the coming of Holi, a big event in India. We ate at a restaurant that overlooked the festival and headed back. The next day was Holi and Holi is a day where everyone celebrates and throws coloured powder at eachother. It is meant to be fun but unfotunately at times people can get overzealous and be aggressive with the event, especially when it comes to foreigners. Because of this our professors had us stay in the hotel until 3pm. It was really too bad as it is a large event that would have been amazing to see. Many people headed straight out at 3pm to see if they could catch the end of the celebration but unfortunately I was not feeling well and ended up having to stay in the hotel. The next day was our last day in Udaipur before we headed home. I was able to make up for the time lost the day before and saw a lot of the city. We took a gondala ride and boat ride to see more of the city. After we headed down to the major part of the city and ate at a bakery. We also were able to see the city palace where the royal family of Udaipur still live.
All in all that weekend trip was awesome and it sucked having to take an overnight train ride back (our last) to the reality of classes. This week has been class all day leaving the house at 8ish and getting back around 6ish. It is like a full-time job or something and it sucks haha. Anyways we leave again this weekend to visit the city of Khajuraho. I also wanted to let you all know that I have posted the first portion of my pictures on my facebook account. Please feel free to look through them. So far all I have are my pictures from the start of my trip to the Rainforest retreat. More to come :)
