Fort Rajwada Jaisalmer

... was at sunset where we rode further into the desert to see the sun go down and then we chilled on the sand dunes and then we did an early morning ride for sun rise which was also good. My camel decided to race back to the camp on the morning safari to win first place which was painful! On Sunday we had more time in jaisalmer and went to ‘Little Italy’ for lunch! I had pizza and chips! It was amazing! The first none Indian food since my mc Donalds ...

... year old temple in the city of Osiyan and Jay insisted that we wear the turbans. I could not bring myself to walk around in a foam turban. We would have looked like the biggest jackasses on the planet. One turban is indeed awesome, but I will place it in my room as a memento, never on my head. Dad took his turban and as soon as Jay was out of site, he stuffed it in his bag. The temple itself was really neat and we received the bhindi ...

... was just so cool and friendly he made us laugh and chatted to us for ages, he must only be about 23 or 24 and is a proper cool dude as you might say, he had some brilliant sayings such as Chillaxing and no worries chicken curries.. he really is an amazing man and I cant thank him enough for making us smile again.. <br><br>After meeting him we decided not to give up and stick to the plan to keep going through Rajistan, up to Agra, over to Varanasi, up to Nepal, into ...

... really enjoyed the ride. I was running out of time before I needed to go back to the hostel so I did one more thing inside the fort. I got henna on my hands!! That was really fun and if anyone who has facebook wants to see pics (or snaps as they call them here) it is now my profile pic. I returned to the hostel with my new body art and packed up my stuff. I had the restaurant make me some sandwiches for the train and then i got my second motorbike ride of ...

... showing concern, were wetting themselves with laughter. "His camel crazy!" The guy nearest me shouted in delight. "He like to go jumping!" "But this doesn't happen often, right?" I enquired hopefully whilst looking down at the ten foot drop between me and the ground. He chose to ignore this question. For any would-be camel drivers out there I would implore them that if any questions arise ascertaining the likelihood of a paying customer coming to a sticky ...

... realized I forgot a couple of details. So much in the course of a day. One of the things we saw inside the fort were the intricately carved havelis and then at least one Jain temple. We had to take off our shoes, remove our cameras (unless we paid 70 rupees!) and anything that was leather. Hundreds of open-eyed prophets were inside with carvings of Kama Sutras, for "educational" purposes, said the guide. Also when we were standing ...

Guys and girls firstly apologies for the long delay for this update - finding the time to get onto a computer let alone a computer which works fast is a real challenge over here! I am in Jaislmer deep in the Rajistani desert around 100km east of the Pakistani border. I am nursing a very sore backside and groin area after spending the last two days on top of a camel! However, the pain I am now in was very much worth it ...

... Lean back and hold on and the camel sits down, then one can easily hop off. We arrive in time to climb a dune and watch the sun set while our camp site is being prepared. We all provided a mat and blanket where we get to sleep out in the open under the stars. I decided to move my bedding to a more remote location to avoid issues with alleged snoring coming from my direction. Our host "Mr Desert" hold us a number of ...
