Rang Mahal Jaisalmer

... mostly because of limited other options rather than due to any merits of its own. I had a tolerable fried chicken and french fries. Frankly, Tony and I are getting a bit sick of Indian food.<br><br>Tony finally was able to get a massage from a woman - in his hotel room, no less. This being India, though, the masseuse was accompanied by a chaperone to ensure that there was no hanky panky. Perhaps this is why massages are so expensive in India: it is necessary to pay a ...

... visit during this part of the year, remember to carry sunglasses, sunscreens and cap- desert sun tan can be dangerous. <br><br>In about 45 minutes of fast driving led us to the sand dunes of Khuri and our lone resort. This resort is unique of its kind. It had few mud cottages and some Swiss tents. They provided us with camel safari facilities. We thoroughly enjoyed the camel safari and went to the nearby village of Barna. After ...

... the pair of leggings I've been living in to one who, while calmly walking across the street, decided to divert his path to snap at me. He didn't break skin, so I haven't had to add new diseases to my list of things I am convinced I have as a result of watching too much House, but I am fairly miffed about the fact that I have a giant thigh-window in my leggings. (Though it does act ...

... group were very happy about our speakers. The camels are amazing. They graze for hours, some going very far from the group, suspiciously like they don't want to come back. It took the guides almost an hour to round them up, but I don't think they were in much of a hurry. Desert people seem to take their time. After lunch we spent another couple of hours on the camels and made our way to the camp site. We camped in the middle of beautiful ...

... rocky plateau in the middle of the town and can be seen from almost anywhere in the city. Practically all of the buildings in the city are made of yellow sandstone giving it a wonderful mystical desert character. We stayed in a hotel with a beautifully clean and clear swimming pool and our final days there were spent sitting in the sun or going for a dip in the pool while listening to music and chatting to friends that we had made or meeting new people gathered there to enjoy the sun.

... a little of the desert festival that was going on. though, we missed the mustache contest and the mr desert competition, which kind of bummed us out! overall, Jaisalmer was a magical place and it was well worth the train rides to get there! check for pics tomorrow, hopefully we can get them uploaded! also, it was our first taste of the heat! next...down south for the beaches! namaste

... This leaves five of us to see out the day in the Thar. Our first stint of riding is the longest yet - and the most leg numbing. Winding our way through the desert I'm struck by how populated it actually is. There is the ever present sound of cowbell's - usually attached to goats - and goat herds watching their flock. We can also intermittently hear the roar of Indian fighter jets in the distance although we only set eyes on one. Dog's also appear ...

... all over but decided to try the cookie wares here because these guys have been in business operating from the same store for 35 years. Also, Anthony Bourdain (Tony), the celebrity chef whose book "Kitchen Confidential" we had both read had sampled the products here, they had his photo on the wall to prove it. The deal clincher was the hilarious menu that told us that after consuming the product we wouldn't see pink elephants, jump off a building or turn into ...

... mourning) It was awful we got across the square as quickly as we could, we felt so bad for stumbling in on this. We had no right to intrude. <br>We went to the palace museum and had a look around (get the headsets its worth it) was ok actually there was some good views on the roof you could see Pakistan (apparently)as it was such a clear day.As we were going to the top of the museum there was a guy with some sort of instrument asking you your name - you told him, he made a ...
