We landed in Delhi yesterday afternoon after about 24 hours of traveling. We were met by our local representative and brought to our hotel. The streets of dehli were still pretty busy irregardless of the time. We slept for several hours and we we went off to see some of the sights. The weather is warm but with a lovely breeze. The Quatar Minera is the tallest brick minaret in the world. ... It even has a slight "Pisa" lean to it. We also saw the tomb which the Taj Majal is fashioned after. The afternoon we ventured into the crowded jammed pack streets of Old Delhi - road on a bike rickshaw and did a little shopping. The crowed streets are teeming with people. A wedding procession also made its way through the streets drums and pipes flaming fire and dancers. Here are a few phone shots from the day I've been using most of my big camera but trying to remember to take some mobile ones as well. Today then we went to the airport at 330 and flew to Udaipur. We got there around 7 and then drove to our amazing lake side hotel. It is a restored building from the 17th century in the old part of the city with amazing views from the roof and rooms towards the lake and the palaces on islands on the lake. We had breakfast and then did some exploring on our own. A colleague of ours is also currently in India and amazingly we ran in to her on the street. We then met up with our guide and visited a temple , the amazing palace of the king of the city and had a boat ride on the lake. Currently we are back at the hotel having a big of well needed down time after the wirlwind past few days .
Okay so Internet is *++ slow so pics not at this time.
