On the road to Udaipur

For the first time in India we got to drive along a dual carriage way from Bijaipur to Udaipur. No potholes for a change but still a multitude of cows and dogs to be avoided and a number of bullock carts, motorbikes, tractors and a few cars which didn't seem to understand the concept, and randomly appeared coming towards us. Also, of course, it was fair game to just beep the horn and overtake either side when a small gap appeared.
On the car dashboard Prince Harry, our driver, has a small statue of Ganesh, the elephant god, to which we do our daily "puja" to keep our journey safe.




For extra insurance, on the way today, we stopped off to pray at a Jain temple.




There were some interesting pictures adorning the temple, including this one which seems to be a warning of the dangers of playing with knifes!




We arrived at Devra House, a modern but beautifully designed home stay in the countryside just outside Udaipur. On a walk through the local village we met these lads who were keen to show us their pet rat- just like the one Sam had in California!
