Last night I arrived in Udaipur and had a marvelous dinner at my hotel, the Fateh Garh. It is a fairy-tale Indian palace with a beautiful view and even a pool. For dinner I had three vegetable samosas and a vegetable curry. It was so spicy that I finished three bottles of water.
This morning I visited the extraordinary City Palace. It was so grand that its main entrance was a triple-arched gate called the Tripolia. Also, balconies, cupolas and towers surmount the palace to give a wonderful view of the lake. The Mor Chawk is the peacock square and gains its name from the vivid blue glass mosaic peacock that decorates its walls. The main part of the palace is a museum with many artifacts.
The last to stop of the day was very interesting. Sahelion-ki-Bari, the Garden of the Maids of Honor, are beautiful gardens were you learn about the lifestyle of royal ladies who once strolled through the garden. This was definitely my favorite part of the day.
