This morning we opted not to attempt the hostel breakfast again, and so after checking out we headed into town. It had got considerably hotter today so it was a relief when we found the cafe we had been looking for, which I was drawn to due to it serving vegan chai. We had a pretty big breakfast here overlooking the city centre, and then wandered around the market for a bit. I picked up some cheap 10p earrings and then we found a supermarket where we stocked up on snacks. We then found the Stepwell which was partly the purpose of our trip, however it looked considerably less impressive than usual due to the heavy rain the previous night which was a shame!
We wandered back into town and went into a shop to buy bedsheets (wall hangings). After looking through loads we managed to get nice ones very cheaply, and then went off in search of lunch. Meg and I shared a delicious veg curry and naan which was the perfect fuel for another long journey. We walked back to the hostel and had a bit of time before a very sweaty walk with our big rucksacks to catch the bus to Udaipur. We had opted for a local bus which had no A/C or fans. It was far from being the most comfortable journey but thank god that we got some breeze as it moved!
The bus departed just before 3 and we were told it should take about 6 hours, but we didn't end up arriving until after 10. We ordered an uber to the hostel and arrived and checked in by about 11. Somehow sitting for a long time is tiring, and soon we were all asleep.
