Rajasthan - Udaipur

The Venice of India for its lakes and the Switzerland of North India for its hills surrounding the town. At least that is how Indians (who have never visited Europe) call it. 
Yes, the sunsets are breathtaking. The water turns pink, the handrails of the bridges and windows of the water palaces shine gold, horizons soften.
Yes, the sunrises are refreshing. People bathing in the lake, women doing their laundry, cows wandering through the vegetable stands and harassing the sellers by stealing their products.

Oh and not to forget, this time Kate is sick.







Just in case the postman could get confused... Standard Indian address...



This is how your package will look once the post office is done with it. Professionally sown in and stitches sealed with wax. ...

  3. oh sorry, yes i did read your email and was meaning to reply. but you know what, since i'm working again, at a job where i should not use the internet for private purposes as well, i am often only reading my mails and then am too tired to reply.

    sorry!!!!
