The view from the top of our accommodation was amazing we were somewhere inside the fort very high up and we had the fantastic view of the rest of Jaisalmer all the way to the border, so much so that we could hear the military plans every morning doing their rounds which became a consistent annoyance and a alarm clock at the same time.

From the first day that we got there I made it a point (well for some reason I couldn’t sleep past 7am anyway ) to get up early and watch the town slow come into full light. Walking around down was hard at first because it was different to Delhi but the same in someways, it has obviously been well travelled due to the amount of people that knew where we were staying and that we were the second or third intrepid group in town.

It was also my chance to start buying clothes, I didn’t do too badly in the style stakes it was the haggling that let me down. On our last day we were to head out on the camel safari, which I was quite excited about because I thought that it would be tons of fun to try to race a camel…well I was completely wrong.

The ride into our island of desert was quite fun and unique experience.
Having dinner & gypsy show in the desert was fun and different.
Sleeping out under the stars I won’t forget.
Waking up groggy, uncomfortable and sandy I could have done without.

The ride back was terrible and I couldn’t wait for it to stop, I did feel well and I knew that something was wrong and hoped that it would pass by the time we got to the next town
