Saturday 03.02.2018: Udaipur

Drive to Lake Pichola where some people did their first camel ride at Fadeh Sgar. Others chose to ride a horse, but this was more like sitting on a horse for 5 minutes. It actually made me think about these pony rides children do. Lunch at Pizza Hut in the Lake City mall. Drive to the City Palace Udaipur where we had a guided visit for about 1 hour (up and down many steps). Boat trip on Lake Pichola - really worthwhile because you get the complete picture. The ladies were begging for shopping. Alice and Julia bought a whole regiment of bananas and almost had them all ate by a huge 50 years old smart elephant who was smelling all the bananas. We gave 3 bananas but he wanted the whole thing. Funny is that the elephant recognizes if what he is getting is food or a currency bill! Dinner at Sikh restaurant (the owner had a turban and was pretty well fed - we were told that Sikh men are not allowed to cut their hair. Julia ill. We walked to the railway station and took our seat/beds C2 at 1045 pm. It was a good confusion, because we switched places; the beds were reserved but we were not together. Finally at 1am we were settled.
