OVERNIGHT TRAIN TO JAISELMER

We were very lucky to find that we could still stay inside the fort here. The problems of deterioration in the building caused largely by the problems of plumbing and water erosion mean the fort may not be able to accommodate tourists much longer.

The fort looked like a beach sandcastle from a distance but must look like a mirage to the local tribesmen.



The view from our $5 room was OK!!!!!!!!!
Making Roti or Chappatti or some other form of Indian bread.

Chris, Thomas and some locals before the camel safari.




Chris has been coloured by the local children as part of a Holy (Holly) celebration.
We all copped agood colouring, specially Scott and Shell.





After the camel safari we're sitting on the sand dunes watching the sunset commenting on the one thing that's lacking - a cold beer, when a local boy walks up with a sack of 4 kingfisher beers, 8& proof, so you don't need too many. The wonders of India will never cease.
