So, traveling with diarrhea is not that fun, especially after the 4 Imodium tablets taken, fail to plug the leak. After finding a cheap place to stay, I went off to the hospital to get sorted out. Which is not normally something I do, usually trying to get through things like this. But i was tired, and hungry, and wanted to get back to traveling as soon as possible.
The doctor said I had a bacterial infection, and 5 hours later (he had said only 2), I was on my feet again, after a saline drip, and a bunch of other stuff had been pumped into me. And it worked, so I guess that is something to be thankful for!
The problem was, that I had spent much of my 1 full day of Udaipur sightseeing time in the hospital, meaning I didn't get to visit the palace, but I elected to just relax by the lake instead, and spent a few hours talking with a retired mental health nurse, waiting for the sunset. It was a nice way to recover from the uncomfortableness of the previous few days.
From what I could see of the town, it really is very nice, and I have added it to the list of 'places I would like to come back to'. Especially for the bakery near the hotel, which did HUGE pieces of banana cake for 40rs. I will certainly be back for more of those! There was also a great little cafe that specialised in food made using millet, and the porridge was great. Its an ingredient i will try to use more when i get home - you have been warned mum and dad!
