dhal in a bucket

a note to our local curry establishment - here your dhal comes in a bucket (a very nice brass one - photo to follow maybe!). That was yesterday - having trouble getting the blogging phone techology to work out here. Martyn has spent 1 hour in the vodafone shop -this was inevitable I suppose. I have given up and come to use the hotel internet with a keyboard that doesn't work so please excus an tyops.

Lots of travelling so far. Cycle ride this morning around some painted havelis and into a fruit and veg market. Got to Bikaner fo 4pm and went to see big Fort where a fesitval was on so lots of people dancing - bit of an Indian street fair thing, hard to describe. Lots of colour and sound. Smells not too bad so far - well apart from Martyn but lets not go there.

May have to invest in cushion, bus is very nice and actually very comfortable but after 12 hours on it in two days and, 7 hours tomorrow my bum is hurting! Roads are interesting. Hit a smooth patch today and we all started to feel travel sick having got into the rhythm of the bumps!

Am going to have to start trying to eat less. Food is great, no idea what any of it is though, just trying everything on the menu! Still, out into the heat of the desert day after tomorrow so maybe we'll sweat lentil and chick pea weight off!

Anyway, have to go = Martyn is trying to work out settings for his blogging phone but apparently has just managd to piggy back off hotel wireless so photo of dhal bucket arriving soon!

Hope you are all well, we're off to sweat in our sleep - its hot here!

Love K&M

PS Posts may vary due to issues and off to desert for two days so nothing for a bit anyway, well apart from camel spit but I don't think that will get as far as you lot. Maybe we can bottle some for you.....yuck, thats gross even for me. sorry.
