Been super busy, and slack on my blog!!

Hello :)
Just realised the other day that have not updated my blog in ages or put hardly any of the photos up from the last 4 weeks!! Sorry!
I left Goa and travelled up through Mumbai to Gujarat. I spent some time in a city called Ahmedabad - which is really old and has many beautiful havelis. The architecture is amazing, saw lots of old Mosques and temples there. Also found the people in Gugarat are so friendly!!I was really suprised, after the rumours about the pollution levels being so high that they have Oxygen masks on the streets - I found it to be quite a clean city!
After Gugarat I made my way to Rajasthan. First stop at a city called Udaipur - wow! It is set on the lakes, which contain many floating palaces, in the mountains. Visited the City and Monsoon Palaces, and many cultural museums and workshops, art schools and local families. Saw traditional dance shows etc tec. It is fab there - I recommend anyone travelling to india to take time out in Udaipur (as well as everywhere else!)
Am now in Jaipur (the Pink City), again there are many palaces, forts, and Jantar Mantar - a huge observatory with massive Sun Dials. Off to Agra tomorrow night and should get there Friday morning to see the Taj Mahal.
Oh - have seen so many elephants and camels here!!! It's fab!!!
Well - all i can say is I have a ton of photos to upload from Goa and all the other places I have been - but short on time as so busy sight seeing (only 4 days left!)
So will get them up prob when I get home!!
