Day 7: Be Brave Challenge – My Wonderful Friend Constance!

“Again, again …”
So arrived in Udaipur, North India today after what seemed like the longest bus trip ever. You have to be able to laugh at the Indian timekeeping. So it turned out that the South African couple, that I mentioned yesterday, did end up getting a ticket on the same bus as me. After gulping down …
