jaisalmer




















After walking around bikaner for like ten hours we cought the sleeper night bus. It would have been tight, but of course I had to eat some nasty cold dahl dish and it turned into the all night diarrhea butt barf rocky swayathon blow it out my ass and pop all the meds I have and just hope and pray I make it too the next stop…then we arrived at five in the morning too a dead cold empty town with no rickshaws and I felt like barfing the whole time…but eventually we got a spot and got some real sleep. Today we toured the world famous jaisalmer fort up on the hill in the middle of a town straight out of Arabian nights. Its about a thousand years old stone city with narraow alleys and more mindblowing carvings covering some of the buildings many which have been converted to hotels and or are still lived in by brahmans. Tonight we met our friend susanna’s daughters father praga who is a native from outside jaisalmer and tomorrow we embark on a four day camel safari out into the deserts near Pakistan. Praga is a funny little guy and he has lots of great stories about like abandoned cities with lost treasures and thieves and getting stung by scorpions and eating lizards and camels that kill their masters by sitting on them and all that fun stuff to get us pumped up…should be amazing.
