An early morning phone call was made this morning. My fingers were dialing before I’d fully woken up. Tom had spent the night on the street in Calcutta (something to do with being skint?!) and I was a little concerned for his safely. Having found him to be well and in remarkably good spirits I headed up to the rooftop for my last Rajasthan sunrise and a bit of breakfast.

A fairly frantic morning was spent packing and shopping. Between all the buying and bargaining, I managed to fit in a chai with the chili man (from Holi Festival). Mission accomplished! His conversation made very little sense but he did partake in a gleeful little jig which made me smile.
A tiny shop packed up to the roof; shopping Udaipur style!
I was really sad to be leaving Udaipur, it really is a beautiful city. I’d love to visit again one day but maybe not during Holi next time!
After a quick lunch of chai and samosa my taxi arrived to take me to the airport….
