| All dressed up for our Bollywood Gala - dance lessons included! |
Saturday, March 03 Udaipur
After our cooking demonstration and lunch, we boarded our buses and headed back to the Oberoi hotel. We had lots of activities options: going shopping, taking a tour of a crystal collection at the Palace, or a walking tour through the old
city. However, the afternoon was
hot, and the pool was tempting. I
joined Mike out on our porch and we decided to spend our last full day in India - indeed - the last full day of our NGTOA - relaxing, listening to the birds and enjoying our reflections of this amazing trip.
 |
| The winds were brisk - raining down pink bougainvillea blossoms all over us and into the blue, blue pool |
 |
| Spending the whole afternoon here at our most lovely little refuge |
 |
| Michael, still wearing his ID card, in case I forget who I belong with :-) |
 |
| The shrubs and bushes are home to hundreds of birds - singing brightly this afternoon |
 |
| Lake Pichola and a floating palace hotel - nice views from our lounge chairs |
 |
| A visit from one of the local peacocks |
Later, we dressed for our final evening event for the tour - a Bollywood gala with an al fresco dinner. We were provided with Indian themed outfits - tunics and white pants. When we arrived at the courtyard, women were given scarves and turbans provided for the men.

| On our way to the party - in front of a beautifully painted mural of the Rajasthan countryside |
 |
| Our fellow travelers look so festive! |
 |
| Friends Maureen and Jeff, looking fabulous, don't you think?! |
 |
| Dinner was superb - I had to show this dessert - jalebi topped with silver foil. Seems appropriate to have started the trip drinking gold and ending it eating silver - how rich! |
 |
| Beautiful full moon for our last dinner together |
