We chilled at the hotel which I forgot to mention is perhaps one of the best places we have stayed at in India, the beds were clean and comfortable, showers were great, the view from the rooftop terrace was amazing and all for only rs100. I would highly recommend Lal Ghat to anyone heading to Udaipur

We sat out in the sun till we had to leave at 2 where both Emer and I got a little burnt.

The bus journey to Mount Abu was decent enough paying that little bit extra for the deluxe coach, although we did get a rock thrown at one of the windows smashing it luckily not injuring anyone. Apparently this happens all the time where kids throw the rocks at passing vehicles.

We arrived in Mount Abu at 7pm, its suppose to be the honeymoon destination for all the Indian newlyweds, the place seemed very modern and clean too, a nice little surprise seeing as India in most places are pretty filthy.

We checked into a guesthouse that was in the Loney planet offering dorm beds for 50 rupees and a place to be able to cook your own food, unfortunately both these things were incorrect and the dorm bed was rs100 without any cooking facilities. It’s really such a shame because I was looking forward to be able to cook.

Instead we had a quick dinner and played Uno with 3 English people we met at the restaurant inside the hotel.
