To all our followers back home!
Last night was certainly a strange one!! We ended up in what must be Udaipur's poshest restaurant, where we had (Riich certainly anyway, Sho possibly as she was erring on the side of caution with her 'Delhi belly') possibly the nicest meal yet, with definitley the best views of any restaurant I've ever eaten in! It was right on the lake, about 3 storeys up and we managed to wangle a window seat (which are usually reserved days in advance). The sun setting over the lake was brilliant and set the mood for an excellent night!! After having finished our meal, (Rich ventured in to meat territory, as a result of growing bored of vegetarian food), we walked back alongh the lake and somehow ended up in a tailors! We were living like kings, not the eternal travellers who wear the same t-shirts for 3 or 4 25 degree plus consecutive days and think nothing of it! We had eaten at the poshest restaurant in town and Rich was then getting measured up for a couple of suits, made from fabrics that would undoubtedly cost near to thousands in England! Kind of surreal! Anyway, the 2nd fitting is at 8:30pm this evening, where the final fit can be determined and what not! Postage back to england then has to be arranged, probably also including various elephant themed souvenirs for sho and our house in Newcastle!! (I secretly think she wishes she was an elephant 'mahmoot' - the term for an elephant trainer she convincingly assures me, employing the knowledge no doubt picked up from the numerous elephant books she appears to be studying!!hehe.) Anyway, I won't be getting a tan sat hunched over an indian computer, so I must escape!! It's very much like being in the library basement at university, with very little natural light and many computer boffin like souls, with long spindly fimngers seeming designed for rapid keyboard crunching movements!!
Love to all,
Rich
