Well well here starts my trip!!! my plan was and has been to take a bus to Udaipur and arrive there at night where my mom was waiting for her long - time - faraway been daughter which means "me".

So i tooked that ultra comfy govt bus with AC and large seats and paid 252 rs....not bad afterall it was not less than a loooong seven hours journey where comfort was indeed needed.

I arived there at 8 pm and jumped in the arms of my long - time - faraway been sweet :* mummy. We took an autorikshaw until the hotel Panorama in hanuman ghat, the hotel and the rooms are nice but the restaurant is awful when it comes to continental food....

I ate and slept until the next topic.
