Je continue – avec du retard – à vous raconter la suite du voyage au Rajasthan, pour pouvoir vite vous raconter Goa et le Vietnam…

Nous sommes arrivés à Jodhpur avec l’idée que cette ville n’était pas tout à fait intéressante (grossière erreur!). Nous avons donc décidé de ne rester qu’une seule journée, mais les horaires de bus vers Udaipur en ont décidé autrement, and finally we stayed two nights ... No regrets for that matter, not only because we were in a small guesthouse very cute and very friendly, but in addition, I personally loved this city and I almost regret not to have stayed one more day ...

We started our day by visiting Sardar Market and Clock Tower copied from Big Ben to give time to the inhabitants of the city. Very nice little place that bustles with activity and shops of all kinds ... And yes, I even broke down and bought lots of things more useless as each other ...

We then chained to visit the Mehrangarh Fort , we visited with a guide speaking, which was very nice! The fort is surely one of the finest we have seen, and our guide was very nice. We could talk about the Indian culture which was really very interesting!

During the visit, we met Quentin, Eric, and Loïc, French students who are sharing with me in Calcutta. A beautiful coincidence ! We decided to have dinner together that evening.

Another coincidence: Nolwenn - which is in the same school as me at Reims, and that we had crossed by chance in Jaipur - the name is after noon to tell me she saw my name in the register, and we sleep in the same guesthouse! She will now join us for dinner.

After a quick massage at the guesthouse, we head to the restaurant "On the Rocks," where we discover a magnificent terrace with candles on tables and a hushed ambience. After dinner, we wanted a drink in the pub next to the restaurant, but we got time stack closure (23h!!).

Returning to our guesthouse, we find the animation in a street. We celebrate a Hindu deity, and everyone is on his 31 ... We supply the sugar, almond paste and coconut, and we ask our new Indian friends. It such meetings that makes this country so special , unique, colorful, and I will miss so much when I return to France ...

The next day, After breakfast admiring the sunrise , we left the "Blue City" for the "white city", Udaipur.
