Day 32: Udaipur - Vadodara

Lake Palace where James Bond movie "Octopussy" was shot

Washing time on the lake

Morning visit of the palaces of Udaipur, the Venice of Rajasthan. The desert is gone and water is changing everything. Now the palaces are built in the middle of lakes, and it is refreshing.
Then driving again to Vadodara, not because it has specific places to visit, but to get closer to Bombay that we should reach tomorrow.

Day 31: Jodhpur - Udaipur

Water carrier


Jodhpur Fortress

Morning visit of the fortress of Jodhpur(XVth century) and its correspomdind Maharajah palace. These palaces seem repetitive, however each place is very different. This one, besides its massive protective walls, houses delicate collections of elephant silver saddles, ornated cribs and very inventive arms to maximize mauling of the enemies.
Then back to the cars and our regular 43C. There is no cloud in the sky and the sun is scortching us. We buy water and/or Coca Cola that never felt so good.
