Jaisalmere

'The golden city'

Yet another fort and palace! But this fort is unique in that its the only one actually occupied. This is not entirely a good thing, the ageing plumbing system is causing the fort to collapse. The government has no interest in doing something about this, nor do the residents. This fort has made it to the top 100 sites in the world which is on the watch list for collapse.

The best thing here - the camel safari! We loved it!

The Rajasthan tour is now at an end - the lovely car has been sent home - I was quite getting used to living it large! 'driver, chalo!' hehe! :O)
We were lucky with this car (the first one we got broke down in Jaipur, if you remember from my previous post), it was a brand new Tata indigo - a luxury car in these parts. We were priviledged enough to be its very first passengers for its maiden journey.
BUT the good news is...my lovely uncle from Punjab is sending another car to take us from Rajasthan to Punjab! Talk about spoilt little brats! haha! Although im sure those who have travelled on public transport in India will sympathise with us (and especially after our first incident with the trains in india we're determined to avoid trains if we possibly can!)
