Alone around Udaipur

Atul made his exit to kota, early on the morning of 8th. Sankha took the late morning cab to Ahmedabad. My bus to Ahmedabad was late in the night. So that left me alone and pretty much with the whole day to roam around Udaipur.

Udaipur is a nice quaint little city. I thought that roaming alone would be the most boring thing to do, but yes, It lets you observe what's happening around you, take in the scenery without any intervening thoughts. I hired an auto, the driver promised to show me the sights of Udaipur for 250 bucks. We started off with a park, moved on to the famous lake pichola, the zoo at Udaipur. Then headed to the City palace, which was a musuem of the mewar heritage. It was quite beautiful, and well maintained. An hour there and it already was 430. Then we headed to a garden and a small science museum inside it. Once out, the driver took me to a crafts store. There i ended up spending a lot to buy quite a few things. Exit and straight to Brijwani's house.

Small nap and dinner later, headed out to catch the bus. A nice little trip comes to an end.
