Udaipur

Up early this morning again, breakfast and off to the massive City Palace. Begun in the 16th century the palace is a maze of reception halls, residential suites and internal courts built above the water. Most elaborate of the inner courts is "Mor Chowk" or Peacock Court; on its walls are peacocks modeled in high relief and faced with colored glass mosaic.

 

  

 

 

After our morning tour we had some free time this afternoon to enjoy the property.  It was nice to sit by the pool and just finally relax.  Knowing that we had a very early wake-up call in the morning and would be very busy tomorrow I decided to do something I have never done before.  I had my butler pack my suitcase.  What an experience-- I learned so many packing tips-- how to wrap fragile items and pack them in your shoes or purses.

 

 

 

 

Dinner and an early to bed as we have to catch a 7:15A flight to Bombay tomorrow.
