Udaipur, India - Saturday 1 March 2025

Saturday morning woke and went to the rooftop for breakfast. This is the view from our room. This guy sweeps with a ridiculously small broom each morning...

Looking down from the rooftop...

And across to the Taj Palace Hotel...

This is looking up to the City Palace which we will visit this morning...

From the room...

After breakfast, we headed to the City Palace which is very close to our hotel...

We went through the palace which was a huge mistake as it turns out. There was a large group of locals and once you were in you couldn't get out. It was like Ikea!

After that we walked down the street to Jagdish Temple. There are many rickshaws around...

We took our shoes off and walked in for a look...

Looking back down to the street...

We walked down to the lake and this procession passed us. Not sure what it was...

We crossed the bridge and had a wander on the other side...

I know we have cows in Australia, but it was interesting to see them in the street...

In the afternoon I went for a massage and a long walk.

That night, we went to a different rooftop "'bar" I had read about, but they didn't serve alcohol so we left. It's interesting that our hotel didn't have a liquor licence but they said if we ordered gin (as it looks like water) they would serve us, and they did!

Took some pics first...

Jagdish Temple at night...

We walked across the lake and found a nice restaurant on the other side...

We then walked back to our hotel. It was crazy traffic and hard to walk along the narrow lanes...
