2/24 Saved by the Bus

Up at 5am and on a stinky sleeper bus (but I'm on the second level so at least there is a great view) bound for Udaipur - the city of Lakes and of James Bond Octopussy fame.  The scenery has changed drastically.  High desert reminds me a bit of Palm Springs and New Mexico.  Finally at Hotel Krishna Niwas around 4p.  And thanks to Binny safely and a day early.  Tiny windy hilly streets.  Once in my hotel, I can see the lake, see the palaces and temples.  I think its the most beautiful city I have ever seen.  Had dinner with a peaceful lake palace view on a soft lazy cushioned window seat.  I really wanted to stay up and explore but I was exhausted.
