Jodhpur

Wow. A lot has happened since the last post amd it'd be great to share it all with you but sadly I have to go on a sunrise trek to the Brama temple in 6 hours and in this time I have yet to wash my clothes, wash myself, get packed and hopefully sleep a little.

So I'll do a few brief posts, think of it as the highlights. (And if you're really interested in everything, I've been keeping a journal with Ganesh on the front. I haggled long and hard for it and I love it. It should make a pretty good read if you ever wanna loan it out)

So after Jaisalmer, we left the HOT HOT desert for Jodhpur, the blue city. Sounds a bit cooler. This is not the case. The 8 hour local bus was an experience. MUCH better than the sleeper train but I can't help but think if we hadn't stopped to pick up pretty much the whole population of Rajasthan along the way, we could have made the journey in 10 minutes.

The hotel was beautiful, like a tropical resort. WITH A POOL! Watched some good TV, pirates of the Carribean and Tom and Jerry (in Hindi of course). We visited the fort which was beautiful and the Sadar Bazar which was...hectic. And of course, sweated a lot along the way. Our tummies were recovering a little by then and we were really starting to get into this whole India malarky.
