Jan 17, Udaipur, Rajasthan


Finding a quiet place in Udaipur before our train to Mumbai departed at 7pm took some time and perseverance, but paid off with restored piece of mind. Sitting alone within a narrow passageway by the ghats, we looked across the murky waters to the other end where women bathed and did laundry in a rainbow of colors. Two weeks into our stay in India we’re still in awe of people’s tolerance of piles of garbage everywhere and immunity to germs that seem to be crawling almost everywhere we look. Unsanitary conditions? No such thing. We seem to be getting used to it as well, showing no signs of stomach problems so far - even after a really bad meal at Sunrise CafĂ©. We’re both puzzled about reasons that place was recommended by LP, surely someone pocketed a hefty commission.



To caress our taste buds we went back to the Raj Palace for some more of that amazing Malai Kofta. I know, it might not look super appetizing, but it was freakin' delicious. Except for raisins, vegetarian ingredients are still a delicious mystery.



Full Cycle Waste Management System. Surprisingly, they’re very selective with the type of trash they’ll eat from the urban smorgasbord and will not have just ANY paper. I guess cellulose makes them stronger.
