Day 3, last day of the camel adventure. This is where we slept on the 2nd and last night of the trip. In the middle of the night there was mini sand storm so we awoke absolutely covered in sand. Nice...
We rode camels in the morning for about 3 hours, stopped at a couple more villages, and then arrived for jeep pickup. Glad to be back in the city and grab a hot shower.
Day 82
Day 2 of the trip. Butt's are sore and stomach's are full. We rode on the camels for about 2-3 hours in the morning, had lunch, then relaxed during siesta time. The guides took a nap from about 1-3 ( the hottest part of the day) and we chilled under the trees. Very relaxing. Then off to search for the camels. Once we stop for lunch the guides bind the front 2 legs of the camels with rope giving them a little room to move . They then let the camels wander for about 3 hours and then search for them when it's time to get moving again. Surprisingly they travel rather far even with their legs tied up...
Day 81
The commencing of our camel trip in Jaisalmer starts on day 81. Yay! We booked our 3 day 2 night camel trek through our hostel (Sagar) and began our trip with a jeep ride . Our first stop was at a local house, about 30 minutes from Jaisalmer city. There was a family of about 6 busy at work in the yard when we arrived. This picture is pretty self explanatory. We then arrived and met our cook, camel guide, and mode of transportation (one camel per person. nice).
We spent the night sleeping in the dunes and under the stars.
Day 80
A very common scene all over India is children (and teens) participating in a game of cricket (a sport I'm not all that familiar with). This was taken outside of Jaisalmer 's Fort while we were eating at a delicious Italian restaurant. (A much needed break from the curry :)
