the name's Udaipur, Udaipur Rajasthan

After the trauma of the past 28 hours of travel, we opted for the quieter area of Udaipur. After a recommendation from some Aussies we met along the way, we made it to the Hanuman Ghat Hotel, and the very friendly owner Baba. Unfortunately on our arrival he was having a quick 40 winks, on account of the fact that his daughter gave birth to his tenth grandchild that morning.  But the night's activities were already taken care of…… for those of you who don’t know the Roger Moore classic Octopussy was filmed here in 1983, and they still seem  to be milking it some 20+ years later. Not only are there restaurants and shops named after it, our hotel has a nightly screening of it at 19.30 sharp.
