There is not even a single day in which I'm actually in time. We were planning to visit so many places today but because of traffic and shuffling of the schedule, we were not able to. We were late today since I took so much time bathing. After getting ready, we had our breakfast from the hotel itself. I had poha, bread, something like somosa with sause and coffee. The coffee served here other than in hotels have a very strong texture of masala and other spices. It is really good for your heath but I prefer the plain one other than Rajasthani coffee. After leaving the hotel, we headed to city palace but the traffic was horrible, so we had to drop it. Then re tried to reach Ekligi temple but we got lost in the way and time also ran off so we had to drop it too. On the way, our driver accidentally got the car scratched and the car slightly hit a woman with the car. She looked like she was around her 50's, I think. I was sure that an argument would be rising up but his apology was enough for her forgiveness. I wouldn't blame him though, the path was very small that he should have received an Oscar for not running into an accident. Finally we went to Jagadeesh temple and honestly I was disappointed. It was just like any other temple and the crowd was freaking me out. There I got to pet two cows. Even though I was scared at first, I managed to stroke it as gently as possible. I also got a chance to buy them food even though I didn't get to feed them. For lunch, we got to a nearby restaurant and I had hot n sour soup, gulab jamun and cola. It was a fair resturant but what I didn't like there was a young boy around ten working there. Child labour is the utter most thing I hate here in Rajasthan. After that we visited city palace since it was near the temple and the crowd had decreased. Inside the palace it was so congested and so crowded that I didn't even get to take a breath and just wanted to go home. It was a big white palace with a museum inside displaying portraits and ancient things. After finally getting out of there, I had cotton candy while waiting for our car. It was looking dirty and they added too much color but I had it anyway. Our next destination was Lok Kala Mandal. It was like a museum and there were historical things and Rajasthan traditional things there. After viewing the museum, we went to see a puppet show there itself and it was one of the things I liked the most there. The place was empty at first and then people started to come one by one. After the puppet show we left the place and went to the bank real quick and headed to Sahelion Ki Bari. It was a park and there was nothing much to see there but the decorations were good. We didn't spend too much time there since it was so cold, we just roamed around the park for 10 minutes and then got on the car. We tried to go to the City palace again for a boat side but regretted it soon. It was so busy and dar k that I wished I could teleport and go home. After what felt like a year we finally dropped it and went to Hotel Kajiri. We went to our room, dropped all our stuff and went to eat. I had chappathi, some sweet yellow thing, salad, ladies finger curry and Chicken. After having our dinner, we went to sleep. Tomorrow we will be heading off to Ranakpur and after sight seeing there, we would spend the night in Mount Abu.
