20 - 21/1: Udaipur

We arrived quite early in de morning at in the station of Udaipur. In a few minutes we were surrounded by lots of tuktuk - drivers and city guides (off course). Some of them tried to show us the hotel of a friend. Since we were looking for one we picked one out and went to see it. When we arrived, the room looked nice and the tof roof restaurant wasn't bad as well so we decided to stay.
The old city of Udaipur is small. Everything is at walk distance, which makes it very nice. The narrow streets are filled with shops. The city is less dirty then others .. but maybe that's just my imagination. The city palace of Udaipur is really very beautiful. The lake palace looked very nice from distance but we couldn't visit it because it now hosts a hotel which is not very happy with non-paying tourists.
The first evening we had to stay inside the hotel because there was a Muslim festival going on and the hotel gate was closed. We had a nice view over the festival from our hotel room windows.
The second day we went to Ship Gram, this is a tourist park with different kinds of houses, found around India and it also hosts a lot of handicrafts. This park is a very small version of "Bokrijk" in Belgium. We had some delicious dinner in a restaurant close to our hotel with view over the lake.
In the evening we took the night train to Ahmedabad.
