Note to self:

Never take a night bus in India.

Last night was one of the most sleep-deprived in my life and not at all in a good sense. The roads here just aren't designed to be compatible with sleeper buses and bouncy journey is almost guaranteed, at least in the back of the bus. Next night we will leave the beautiful (and package traveler filled) Udaipur behind and continue to Jaisalmer - on a night bus again. Not the preferred way to travel but unfortunately the only one available.

Maybe the second night will be easier because already I can tell that I'm really tired and fighting to stay awake until the bus leaves.
