Rang Mahal Jaisalmer

... fins a l'hotel ja em te captivat.

Si Jaisalmer no existis, caldria inventar-la, es tal qual un s'imagina que hauria de ser una ciutat sortida d'algun dels contes de les 1001 nits, el lloc ideal a on les caravanes de camells s'aturaven abans o despres de creuar el desert, un port comercial al bell mig de la ruta de la seda, malgrat la recent comercialitzacio que ha fet sorgir cafes d'internet per tot arreu talment com si fossin bolets i que acabara ...

... mostly French and Korean. The camels were relieved of their burden and let loose, free to roam the desert, though prevented from going too far by a rope tied around their front legs, so they could only take little steps.

By 3pm the camels were herded up and dressed and we were ready to go. We rode for another few hours, taking in another village, and made our way to the sand dunes (we had previously been ...

... in the morning, and then return to Jodhpur. A few phone calls later and we were all set. At 6PM Rampal arrived to take us to the area of the Jaisalmer Fort. Just outside the fort walls we were met by the local guide, a young hindu man who was a guide and a body builder in his spare time. He was married and told us that the marriage ended the happy years of his life. He is from the Brahman Caste, which is the intellectual cast of ...

Kate and I are on our second day in Jaisalmer now, which I will write about in more detail once I get on the 19 hour (!!) train to go to Delhi tomorrow - I'll surely have plenty of time to write things up and then post them later. In the meantime, we are trying our best to beat the heat (and by we, I mean me. Kate is absolutely fine, if a little zapped at the end of days. I, on the other ...

... grumbling behind me about the smells coming from his backside. I was lucky that the wind was generally in my favor! So, we were off, traipsing through the desert scrub, bobbing up and down while trying to take in as much of our surroundings as possible. The first day we walked for some two or three hours before stopping for to enjoy Baba's fine lunch. With our bellies full, and while the midday sun raged beyond the shade of our resting place, we took a ...

... up to its reputation) for 360rs (includes a 7-up which I added some of my rum) it takes credit card even, we went to bed at 10pm+ ... Only disturbed slightly with a fierce dog fight in the middle of the night. We did not feel unsafe walking back to hotel, just beware of cow dung in the not too bright spots. The only thing I don't like is the live village music which started after I took my seat right behind me. It's too close ...

... janvier 2009 Nous avons toutes les trois super bien dormis. Puis nous sommes retournés voir la ville de jour, essayer des fringues, se ballader...Vraiment c est tres sympa ! je commence à m habituer à l inde et à ses contrastes. Tout prend un temps fou ici et donc on a vraiment l impression que le temps passe tres vite. A 14H Nous sommes partis en jeep pour un safari dans le désert avec le gars de l hotel. C est sur que c est fort différent de Bikaner, ici il y a 4 km de dunes qui se ...

... Nuestro camello favorito era Mister India, el jefe. Paseamos por pueblos que llenaban de color el desierto, vimos cono nos cocinaban en medio de la nada (hasta los chapatis), disfrutamos de un atardecer espectacular y luego tuvimos fuego de campamento y cantamos, y hasta tuvimos clase de español sobre camello. Dormir entre dunas fue fantastico... no hacia mucho frio y vimos unas cuantas estrellas fugaces. Por la mañana te despiertas algo desorientada pero ver el ...

... stove and our camel ride was a mild saunter about two kilometres off the main road......and yet it was fantastic! For anyone who's never been into a dessert, it truly is a haunting experience. We trotted (is that the correct verb?) off in late afternoon in order to catch the sunset. After the mayhem and chaos of Delhi just a few days previous, the overwhelming sound of silence was marvelous. The only sound, apart from the crunch of the camel hooves against the sand was ...
