our last stop in rajastan

 we started our trip to udaipur with a bit of adventure.  managed to hitch a ride on a jeep since waiting for the bus seemed to be taking forever,  about 3 km into the trip the jeep blew a tire on a bridge, and a swerve away from crashing the driver managed to keep us on the road, however it meant back to the bus stop. though luckily the bus arrived very shortly and we were on our way.  the road is narrow, mountainous, curvy, and well, pretty darn scary, but we made it without any further mishap.  the girls had been so great for the trip that we enjoyed an ice cream break!  yum!
 then we wandered around checking out the local highlights, including the lake.
 we even got our first glimpse of christmas with a tree outside one of the shops.
 and how could i leave out a picture of a tinfoil deity.  they have small shrines all over here, but this is the first tinfoil one i have seen!
then one day we even headed to the zoo, though the playground was more of a highlight than the few sad looking animals.
 zoe and eijla checking out two big crocodiles...
 thomas snapped this one, didn´t think it needed any explanation...

Det var väl gott med en glass efter så häftiga äventyg. Lite jul verkar det också finnas i Indien.
