Kachchh me if you can - Day 2 exploring villages : Photos 21 to 28

Our last day in Kachchh was supposed to be one of adventure and a final attempt at purchasing handicrafts from those who produce them. Prior to setting off for the day, we covered every square inch of our skin to prevent burn from the beaming desert sun, and purchased 5 litres of water. We were planning to ride 90 km north to the southern edge of the Great Rann of Kachchh to view the salt plains, and, stop in a couple of villages along the way to hopefully spot some more artisans at work. We set out early and baked in the morning sun for an hour before stopping for a break at the village of Sumeraser. In our usual form we began roaming around the village taking pictures of the buildings and of the people we met. Rozy chatted with several different folks and we even popped into a couple of peoples’ houses as they were eager to show off their decorations.
