Rohet Garh is a jewel in the desert, it is Sid's family home as the Mini marharajah of Rohet, about an hour from Jodhpur.
Sid is a keen horse man, and the palace has horse memorabilia everywhere.
One of the staff took us for a walk in the village after lunch and we wandered into the yard where the local potter was making the village water pots which was amazing to watch, he gave us a qucik demo which was very cool, he just worked on a round piece of concrete stone which he span really quickly then dumped a lump of lake mud and "donkey dust" and created magic, from the single blob he made a money box, a dish, a vase, and pot.

After we spent the afternoon in the gardens, then went out to Khandi camp where we would start out camel safari.
Khandi is amazing, it was the best bed we had ever slept in, kind of sleeping in a bowl of caramel custard.

The camp had a fire the week before, and we were the first people in since the re build. They are expecting a celebtrity guest over New year.
Good sleeps needed by all to power up for camel safari tomorrow
