After a short airplane ride from Udaipur to Goa we were picked up by a pre-arranged hotel taxi which drove us to our hotel at Majorda Beach. We had booked this hotel in the very last minute, as we had decided that we would like to see something more of Goa before getting to Palolem, Read More
Udaipur was really just what we needed after the messy cities of Jaipur and Agra. The beautiful waterfront, the many nice restaurants near our hotel, quiet alleys made for long walks and a boat trip to watch the sunset. On top of this, the hotel was really good – not luxurious but very homey, Read More
One of the evenings in Udaipur we went to see a dance and music show in an old beautiful museum near our hotel. We were pleasantly surprised. We payed 100 Rupees (1,5 Euro) per person to get in and as we arrived quite late we had to sit at the side of the stage,, Read More
We were lucky and managed to get off the sleeper train at the right station even though we arrived in Udaipur a bit earlier than expected and no one is calling out the stations in these trains. (We use our Smartphone GPS to try to keep track of where we are and that works, Read More

It was so nice to leave Agra! We had booked a train at six in the morning and had agreed with a rickshaw driver who we had met the day before that he would pick us up at 5:00 am and he was there when we came out of the hotel in the morning., Read More
Since Agra is mostly about the Taj Mahal, it was our main event in this city. We set our alarm clock to wake us up at 5:00 AM to get to Taj Mahal before sunrise. We had not booked any transport but like everywhere in India there is always a tuktuk ready to drive, Read More
Johan was feeling a little better when we had to leave the hotel to go to the railway station. This was really good news as it is really not fun to be sick on an Indian train. The journey between Jaipur and Agra is not very long by Indian standards – 6 hours –, Read More
