Udaiur to Pushkar

Leaving Udaipur, we passed marble factories. There were stockyards filled with marble and granite slabs of many sizes and colours. We saw people loading them into trucks by hand and also camel carts filled worth chunks of marble. The two lane road wound through the mountains and was full of trucks and buses. Our driver calmly passed them, hopping from lane to lane on the blind curves with cows to the left of us and motor bikes to the right. I sprouted a few more grey hairs for sure.
Road closures and a lost driver made the trip a few hours longer than expected and I had some trouble explaining to the driver that I needed a bathroom stop. Shrieking "toilet stop NOW" finally did the trick and we reached Pushkar safely.
