Hello Everyone,
What wonderful things we have seen and experienced. We hired a car and driver for 8 hours it costs about 1200 roupees roughly 21€. The best way to get around, you stop off at all the places you want and the driver just waits patiently. We went to the markets in Old Delhi, Jesus what an experience, at first my heart was in my mouth, the tooks tooks drive everywhere, motorbikes whizz in and out, cyclists were about 5 gas bottles hanging out from the sides of their bikes all doing the same things, getting about their buisness and I felt I was in the way. Adrian stepped on a sleeping dog's paw and got a nip on his ankle. I was sure my poor husband had instant rabies. Apart from the continuous jumping from side to side and just barely missing fatal death, it was wonderful, so vibrant and colourful, it was magic. On our way back to the hotel to pick up our bags at the hotel so we could head off to "The train station" our driver's horn got stuck and then smoke came out of the front bonnet. We had to jump out and just in time cos as he opened it flames shot out. We escaped once again ! Poor guy he was devastated and we were in a state of panic as there was only an hour to go before our train left. We got a took took little rickshaw run by a motor. We got back and then had to wait for another taxi to take us to the station. The wait was so painful and my nerves were beginning to fray. The manager of the hotel was so worried for us that she told the taxi driver to make sure he got us there on time. Well even the most hair raising James Bond chase was no match for the lightspeed chaotic drive we experienced. Our toothless driver was very pleased with himself and my poor Adiy himslf was almost hairless after that drive. Our ttrain trip to Udaipur took 12 hours we left at 7pm and arrived at 9am. That's it for now
