Last day in Udaipur/Ultimo dia en Udaipur

So, after checking out from the hotel we spent the morning walking around, Jane did some shopping. We then got a rickshaw to go see the Cenotaphs- amazing, cuppola roofed sort of mausoleums which have been built over a period of 350 years, one for each maharana ( I think?!?! or some rich or royal person anyway)- for those who know about my fascination with cemeteries, you would know how much I loved it. We then went into the City Palace Museum, bloody huge, amazing architecture; and most importantly went to the Government Museum- really small and run down, but hey, we went there to see the stuffed monkey holding a lamp and we got what we wanted! (no photos allowed, so I haven't got any proof). We then got another rickshaw to drive us around and had a look at some parks, gardens, fountains- and this is where the 14yo bicycle boy from yesterday inspired us to create a song dedicated to him; he would be proud, we know he would:) We went back to the hotel to watch Octopussy (a Roger Moore old James Bond movie, which because part of it was filmed in Udaipur they show the movie here every night EVERYWHERE). Then we caught an overnight bus and got stared at some more. We got to Jodhpur the next day (today) at 4:30am. Went to the train station, hang around until the bus ticket office opened (yes, the bus tickets are sold at the train station, not at the bus station, why wouldn't they?!?), bought ourselves tickets (leaving this arvo to Jaisalmer) and dropped off our backpacks there. We hang around the train station with Alejandro, the colombian guy from yesterday (who was on the same bus with us last night) and waited until daylight. The stations are packed here at that time in the morning, cause a lot of homeless people sleep either in the stations or just outside them, so it actually feels very safe to arrive to a station at any time, cause it's as busy as Town Hall station during peak hour. There was this old man who obviously slept the night there and was in no hurry to catch a train anytime soon, and he had this amazing loooooooooooooong hair, down to the floor... twice, if that makes sense. And he just pulled it up and twisted it around and made himself a turbant with his very own hair, it was so cool. And then he proceeded to do the same with his beard- undid it, we saw how long it was, and he again did it all up twisting it around.
Anyway, gotta go catch that bus to Jaisalmer now, so I'll tell about Jodhpur next time.

Nos fuimos del hotel y pasamos la maniana caminando, dando vueltas, Jane hizo algo de shopping. Despues nos tomamos un rickshaw y fuimos a ver los Centotaphs- espectaculares, onda mausoleos con techos en forma de cupulas, que los construyeron durante un periodo de 350 anios, uno para cada maharana (creo?!? o para alguien rico o de la realeza)- para los que saben sobre mi fascinacion con los cementerios se imaginaran cuanto me encanto. Despues fuimos al museo del Palacio de la Ciudad, gigante, arquitectura espectacular. Y lo mas importante fuimos al museo del gobierno- chiquito y venido abajo, pero fuimos con el proposito de ver el mono embalsamado sosteniendo una lampara en la mano, y lo vimos! (no permitian fotos, asi que no tengo evidencia). Despues nos tomamos otra rickshaw para que nos de vueltas, fuimos a parques, jardines, fuentes- y aca nos inspiramos y le creamos una cancion dedicada al chico de 14 anios en su bicicleta de ayer- ay, que orgulloso que estaria si supiese! Despues volvimos al hotel a ver Octopussy (una pelicula viejisima de James Bond, con Roger Moore, y como parte de la pelicula fue filmada en Udaipur la muestran todos los dias, EN TODAS PARTES). A la noche nos tomamos un omnibus, y nos miraron fijo un poco mas. Llegamos a Jodhpur el dia siguiente a las 4:30am. Fuimos a la estacion de tren y esperamos hasta que abrio la boleteria para tickets de omnibus (si, si, la boleteria para los tickets de omnibus esta en la estacion de tren, no en la estacion de omnibus, como podria ser de otra manera?!?), nos compramos pasajes (para irnos esta tarde a Jaisalmer), y dejamos ahi nuestras mochilas. Nos quedamos en la estacion de tren esperando hasta que se hiciera de dia, con Alejandro (el colombiano que conocimos ayer, que estaba en el mismo omnibus con nosotras). Las estaciones estan llenas de gente a toda hora, porque hay mucha gente sin casa que vive/duerme en las estaciones o justo afuera, asi que es bien seguro llegar a una estacion a cualquier hora, porque parece calle Florida a la hora del almuerzo aunque sean las 4 de la manana. Habia un viejo que obviamente durmio en la estacion y que no tenia intenciones de tomarse ningun tren, y tenia el pelo laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargo, hasta el suelo... 2 veces hasta el suelo, si se entiende?? Y se lo levanto y empezo a enrollar y se hizo un turbante con su propio pelo, una masa! Y despues hizo lo mismo con su barba- se la solto, vimos lo laaaaaaaaarga que era, y tambien se la empezo a enrollar.
