Just our lcuk - poor tour guide very concerned - were promised wonderful view of Jasailmer fort in the sunset and a dust storm blew in. We could see in front of our faces - just. Hey Ho - we were laughing!
Hotel here is very posh. Have spent the night in a turret! beautiful round tower like chalet thing. Very smart, felt very under dressed in my natty old travelling clothes! They have a pool and request that you wear a 'proper' swimming costume. Not quite sure what this is but mine seemed fine.
Have visited the fort this morning and going on camel ride into the desert tonight so thought we would post this as likely nothing for two days now.
Considered an Ayurdvic massage for my bum which is sore after lots of travelling in our mini bus. Decided against on the basis the masseuse would be horrified and apparently for a bunch of people who like you to completely cover up the massage is done completely naked - definately not for me! Learnt today there is a branch of the Jain religion that walk around completely naked apparently - they are banned from tourist areas (this seems a shame!) and their prophet statues have their eyes closed (understandable I think!).
Have decided to try and get some exercise to walk off too much yummy food som am skipping camel ride and will walk in desert. I have been allocated the job of leading the camels so I hope they know where they are going otherwise we'll just go round in circles. Haven't told the rest of the group about our navigational skills, they seem quite trusting but they've only known us 4 days.
Better go - Martyn needs to look up the settings for his GPRS SIM card which he still hasn't got working. Bless him, I think he's feeling the pressure! :-)
More after desert.
