Fort Chanwa Luni Jodhpur

... bloody fruit juice was definitely the culprit and strangely enough the astrologer said Em had a sensitive stomach! Luckily there was not that much more to see in Jodhpur so we didn't really miss out on anything major by having a day off. We had an overnight bus booked for that night so we paid for an extra day at the guest house and just stayed there all day hoping Em would get better. Luckily she started to get better that afternoon so we decided to go ...

I'm not sad at all actually... Jodepur was quite nice, I just thought the title "blue city blues" was an excellent title. <br><br>Perhaps an unwritten Miles Davis masterwork. lol. <br><br>Anyway, I have nothing really to say. I just thought I would put up some photos. But certianly the most exciting I did in Jodepur was taking a bus out to the city of Oysian for a mini camel safari. Yay for ...

... have a husband, and he was, in truth, just sick today, and that I was, in all sincerity, planning on having children soon and that they mustn't worry about it too, too much.

... my mouth. Remember I said we were being stalked earlier?? Well, while watching life below, a taxi driver sidled up to us and told us that over on the horizon was a sumptuous Palace and Hotel housing 347 rooms, eight dining halls, 2 theatres, a ballroom and an underground swimming pool!! Apparently Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta Jones were there doing research for a future film with them both in. We were told they had just arrived that day (same as us) from ...

... smiling children. One of the villagers happily gave us a 'guided tour' of his village and Sanjeev translated for us as many of these folk don't speak English. The children were fascinated with our digital cameras and even more when they saw themselves in the view finder (particularly the second village) and wanted to be 'starring' in our photos, so they posed for us with big smiles. Also, we visited Madla Village School ...
