Eating some clothes
Took night train to Bikaner in style. Still didn't sleep though as the other 2 in our compartment snored like all hell! Less touristed area and still chaotic. Went to see Junagargh Fort. OK but nothing compared to Jaisalmer or Jodhpur. Not even allowed on the alls, so more of a museum.
Have realised what cows eat here. See them in garbage all the time. I swear they eat anything! Cardboard, clothes, any kind of organic compost, even crackers from my hand. They sleep in the middle of roads, wherever they want. Too funny!
Went out to the Rat Temple. Can't remember the story in full, but all the rats are reincarnated storytellers or something like that. If one walks over your feet it's considered good luck! I had one go under! But seriously, gross rats everywhere and us in bare feet!
