Made it to the very beautiful Jaisalmer with its red sandstone old city rising out,of the valley below it. (picture below, along with others. There is basically a fort and temple at every stop. and we stay 2 nights in each place. Sadly I am the first to get the dreaded D&V not nice, especially when travelling vast distances every other day. it is still very hot 35c plus most days but we got up at 3am to drive to a small village encounter to our next city (Jodhpur) to see around 2000 demoiselle cranes come into a field to feed. the he villages are protecting them and out grain out every day. There was no one there but us although the BBC had been here last year to film them. had a camel ride into the Thar desert to see the sunset - would like to say it was awesome (well,the sunset and the desert were) but there were hundreds of other tourists there and it was really,just a money making machine. still it was fun.....
