More fun in Udaipur

We are really enjoying our time here. Today we took a four-hour horse ride through the fields, hills, villages and streams around Udaipur. We even saw a 5-foot long bright blue snake!

(Caroline's side note for the horsey set: these are Marwari horses, check out the ears!)

Today in Udaipur we took an excellent cooking course with Sushma at Hotel Krishna Niwas, where we learned how to prepare garam masala, masala chai, homemade paneer, butter masala gravy, dal, chapatis, and stuffed parantha. In the afternoon we visited the city palace overlooking the lake that makes this town famous.

Chapati lessons. The first person who writes a comment under this post wins a free Indian meal cooked by Jerome!

Autorickshaws are a very cheap way of getting around the cities in India.
