Udaipur 1: Jet Airways delays, beautiful Devi Garh
23 April -- Got a bit of time to spare before cocktails start. Just finished checking set-up for cocktails and dinner; looks splendid. Tonight's theme is rose, so rose petals have been strewn everywhere. The setting at Devi Garh is simply stunning.
Woke up at 3:30am this morning (actually, didn't really sleep much since I was in the bar having drinks with the group till just after midnight and knew I had to wake up early). Got to the airport around 4:45am only to find out that flight to Udaipur would be delayed by 3 hours! So far, in my experience with Jet Airways domestic flights, they have a 100% late rate.
Once we got to Udaipur, everything was find. As always, the Devi Garh staff are very welcoming. The highlight of the day is a formal, sit-down dinner on the roof terrace with everyone dressed up in kurtas and kurtis (long tunics worn over trousers that taper at the bottom, women also get a scarf to accessorize the outfit). Should be a beautiful night under a clear, starry sky.
