Cooking class and animal aid

We started our day in Udaipur with breakfast at the hostel. It was very cheap and we had really delicious paratha. We had already arranged a cooking class for that day (not making the same mistakes as we did in Pushkar!) and headed there for an 11am start. We did the class with one other girl and it was sooo much fun! A woman and her son taught us, and we made loads, all of which they made vegan for me! We started with tea, made a simple dahl, a vegetable dish, a rice dish and then chapatis, stuffed paratha and sweet paratha. It was all so delicious and so much fun to make, especially after our last attempt at a cooking class! We ended the class by eating everything that we'd made. They kept refilling the plate and I honestly thought I was going to explode! But it was so worth it as it was sooo delicious and definitely £8 well spent.







After the class we got a tuk tuk to a place called Animal Aid. It's a really amazing sanctuary rescuing injured street animals including cows, dogs, pigs and birds. We got a tour and it was so sweet to see all the animals, but also sad as many have injuries from accidents like being hit by cars. They were so sweet, especially the street dogs and calves, and we spent the afternoon looking round.



Afterwards we went back to the hostel and then tried to find somewhere which would do a jewellery class for us. Again, we were unsuccessful, but did find a jewellers who pierced mine and Meg's ears for £3. Sorry family, not sure you'd approve, but it least it wasn't a tattoo this time! We tried to go to a local dance performance which sounded amazing but the tickets had sold out. I was and still am gutted! Guess I'll have to go back... As we couldn't find a jewellery class we managed to arrange an art class instead for the following day, and then went to a cafe where the others got some food. I was still too stuffed! Afterwards we headed back to go to bed.
