Picture this. Rooftop, flat screen, under the stars, watching Octopussy. In India. Yes. Octopussy, the 1983 James Bond movie. I am pretty sure my life is complete.
We got into Udaipur bright and early this morning, I must say this is a great little city. It is also known as the City of Lakes...it is very romantical. There is some great architecture and the city is surrounded by mountains and old fort walls. Sure, there are still cows and a monkey or two running around but it is alot cleaner a little quieter then the other cities we have explored. Udaipur is actually making me have a little twinge of jealousy that Brian gets to stay and do more exploring in the south. It's true, I feel like I am getting into the groove of India. If you would have asked me that 7 days ago I would have laughed and said, hell no, I will be ready to leave!!! How the tables have turned. Or at least made a little shift.
Why Octopussy? Well many parts of the film were shot right here in Udaipur and other parts of India. So when we go do some sight seeing and touristy things tomorrow...we will be able to say..hey this is where James Bond was standing last night!! hahaha. Oh, and I saw about 4 signs at 4 different places highlighting the fact that they had a rooftop bar showing Octopussy at 7PM. I guess it is kinda there thing here.....
Tomorrow we tour and play in grand palaces in Udaipur. In the evening we will celebrate the end of a great India trip with a few Kingfishers, watching the sunset over the lake and mountains...
