A quiet weekend...


After the business of yesterday it was good to relax a little.  We have been allocated a couple of students who look after us as far as food is concerned – so meals are served to us in the guest dining room.   Not surprisingly it is curry for every meal, but we have negotiated curry free breakfasts! The pictures below were taken from just outside my room - Udaipur is quite beautiful.




Another trip to the airport to pick up Tamzin – who this time did manage to catch the flight OK.   The rest of the day was spent relaxing and another attempt at sleeping to  reset the body clock. 
Sunday morning and we elected to join the college church service, having been given the appropriate etiquette tips.  The men and women sit separately and the women also cover their heads to pray and if speaking.     Most of the songs were in hindi – sometimes the hindi words were written in English letters which helped and some had English translation.  The sermon was translated – and the preacher / translator kept swapping over as to who spoke in English or Hindi!  It made for an engaging sermon – helpful as it was a long service!
Out for lunch in Udaipur – yep it was curry!  And very nice it was too! 

Another quiet evening and so to bed!
