Im still in pain now and walking alot like John Wayne, but that's going to be solved by a massage in about 10 minutes<br><br>So that's what i've been up to so far, next stop is Agra before heading further east and in to Nepal.

... tot aconsegueixo dormir, tot i la 'tempesta' que ens acompanya de forma intermitent fins a la nostra arribada a Jaisalmer.

... a few twists and turns we came to the entrance of the fort, and entered through the gate and up the cobbled slopes, nearly collapsing from heat exhaustion. Inside, we visited the museum which unfortunately was a bit of a let down, but had great views out across the city, allowing us to see the abrupt change from bustling settlement to harsh desert.

My stomach is pretty good to me and now that I am much healthier than I used to be (I lost 20 kilos while living in Taiwan) I can handle much more and carry my bag around without difficulty and run on minimal levels of sleep. Yaarit retired for the evening and I went on the internet and posted some pictures and had a quick chat with my parents on skype.

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 ...

... at least 35 maybe 40 by 1pm. One of the young apprentices, Aladdin, had brought his dog along on the trip. At lunch time the dog, Rocket, was so hot he dug a deep hole and slept inside of it. We on the other hand lay under a tree and drank hot chai until the midday heat had passed. We visited a few different villages during the day. Unfortunately the kids have seen tourists before so they spent most of their time asking for money or anything ...

... any money for trips to the loo. The fort itself was amasing, not to mention huge, sitting on a hill overlooking the whole town, we are very glad that we decided to throw aside our historical sight seeing prejudices for the day. Still filthy, 'looking like ****' according to kels, we were asked on a date..well, sort of, to a beer with another travller at the hotel..suprising to all of you at home, kelsey replied 'were not drinking' ..unbelievable ...

... s "Unbreak my Heart" and, as she approached the chorus, she began to sing with intense emotion (eyes closed now ) at the top of her voice. She then continued all the way through the following verses choruses before moving on to "I just called to say I love you" by Stevie Wonder. She then paused for breath, took off the earphones and ordered an omlette. We breathed a sigh of relief. Too soon. She put back on the earphones and begun to sing the opening ...
