Dec. 31, 2011 New Year's Eve in Udaipur

Hotel Udaivillas, Monsoon Palace on Hill - Udaipur
New Year's Eve, time to party and dance!  But first, something to wear, which meant a trip to the tailor yesterday to order a red top to go with the red flowered silk skirt I bought in Pushkar.  Then I realized I didn't have a jacket so I bought a red wool shawl with unique embroidery work to keep me warm.  That and a pair of tights under the skirt should do it as the nights here are quite chilly.

Nicola and I walked across the footbridge toward town to find a party we heard about at the Pushkar Cafe.  After eating a bit, we went toward the music on the other level of the cafe.  I guess they were shy or something, because Niki had to pull these tourists onto the dance floor.  After that we simply wore ourselves out dancing until midnight.  Fun times and a New Year's Eve I won't forget!

BTW: I have decided not to go to Nepal as planned as I am getting sicker and my lungs really feel congested with the infection I have gotten.  It is extremely cold there (0 degrees C) at night with no heat in the rooms.
