Udaipur

Udaipur, 26-12-93. Travelling with Fraulein Brigit is a barrel of laughs, she just loves to laugh or so it seems. But more importantly the chemistry between us is good. Udaipur is not as romantic as Tony Wheeler from Lonely Planet likes all backpackers to believe. The City Palace is definetly not worth a second visit nor is the city very beautiful. The inevitable holy cows and stray dogs as well as domesticated pigs roam the streets and leave piles of shit in their wake. Locals with house with high roofs advertise the fine views from up there eating in their roof top restaurants overlooking the city and Udaipur lake. The service is slow, though and the food not worth mentioning. Tonight we wasted 600 Rp. on a buffet meal at the City palace Hotel, one of the most expensive hotels in India.
