The next morning we could see our surroundings better, and they could be best described as post-apocalyptic - until I looked in the washroom, and decided the apocalypse was still in progress.

Finally we left the temple and climbed on a bus back to Bikaner. Some very nice old men gave Travis and me their seats because we were foreign and they were getting off at the next stop. And ...
