From\ the Blue city of Jodhpur, we arrived at Jaisalmer, great palce, another for to to a look at. A sunset drive took out in to the Thar Desert, not far from the Pakistan border, cup of tea, with milk from a freshly squeezed goat and thon on to a camel to the sand dunes to watch the sunset, we really enjoyed this.
