there are pictures of the two us, a lovely reassuring idea we have to hold.
The Perve Express arrived in Jaisalmer and before we got off we were approached by touts of all kinds offering services of rickshaws and begging us to reconsider our hotel reservation as theirs was better. They were the worst we had experienced and at one point we were
