After a very sloooow breakfast at a very nice neighboring hotel (with a old car museum...random!!) we had a 6 hour bus journey to Ahmedabad (the home of Ghandi's Ashram where he spent 14 years of his life). Again the bus was nice, air conditioned and Alex lucked out and got a bed bunk for the journey!!
It was such a shock going to a more busy city again after a few days in smaller villages!! The second we got off the bus the air was hotter, it was noisier and dirtier!!! It is funny how quickly you adapt to your surroundings even somewhere like India - we were all suddenly missing the slightly quieter life of Udiapur!
Unfortunately after nearly a week of not feeling 100% and living off bread and biscuits i decided to see a doctor and get anitbiotics so I didn't make it to the Ashram...but apparently was very interesting and there was a museum etc! That evening a few of us went to a shopping mall for dinner as no one was feeling a curry! It was like being in Singapore or something - all the English shops etc! It felt very out of place in India!!
