Its only been a couple of days since my last post, but the broadbands pretty quick here in Rajasthan, so I though I'd take the opportunity to upload some pictures now rather than later!
Since leaving Mumbai, I spent a few days in Mahatma Gandi's home state, Gujarat. I am now back in Rajasthan in the town of Udaipur, famous for the setting in the Bond film 'Octopussy' (crap Roger Moore 1980's one) and Bhang Lassis (a potent and very nice yogurt drink laced with hash:)
Mahatma Gandi's Ashram, Ahamedabad, Gujarat. Gandi was based in Ahamedabad from 1915 - 1930. All the important decisions on the struggle for Independence were made in the small room on the left.
Chaos on Relief Road, Ahamedabad. The state of Gujarat is a bit off the track, everyone seems to bypass it going from Mumbai straight to Rajasthan. Which is a shame. Gujaraties are incredibly friendly, and the food is by far the best in India. Gujarati Thali is a meal, consisting of numerous small dishes- sweet, sour, hot, soothing, different textures, then you savour each dish a little at a time. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
Elephant traffic jam, Udaipur, Rajasthan.
King of Udaipurs 1924 Rolls Royce and me, Udaipur. One of many Rollers in the kings collection. The jammy bugger also had a number of old Merc's, Cadillac's, Buick's and a couple of Morris Minors.
Lake Pichola, Udaipur.

Dear Stu, Just had lunch with Auntie and Uncle at a pub in Stocky. It was lovely to see them and the food was ace.
We spent a good half an hour trying to get your blog, finally your dad got frustrated so mum had to ring with the address when she got home.
Its lovely to see and hear what you've been up to. My Mum and Dad have been looking, they are so bad with computers!
Anyway, we are going to read some more.
Have a safe journey home
Love Claire, Auntie Shirley and Uncle Harvey.
