hello Rajasthan

---

Arriving at the Jaisalmer railway station on 3rd Feb.,we booked our further reservations on trains. In five minutes we reached to the center of the town. We walked up the fort and found a suitable hotel with town view for 700 inR per night. Hotel and restaurants are serving beer in Jaisalmer. Hotel keeper arranged a camel tour for the next day, continuing to the sand dunes by jeep.
We enjoyed the camel ride of four hrs. At lunch under a tree on the desert we gave a stop. Our camel man cooked for us a delicious meal. By the way we both of us learned to cook in small pots and the simplicity of life. I think we make the life hard. Gunay offered a piece of soap to the guide to make his hands clean. After using the soap he smelt his hands with a smile, and he said "we are desert man soap is not for us" in a low and expressive voice.
In the afternoon we made some more way to a temple by the camels and the jeep had come to take us from the temple. We visited the Hindu temple paying 20 inR and went on our tour to the sand dunes visiting a very poor village on the way. Most of the people were hiring camels by the dunes and waits until the sun set, but we didn't and turn back to the town.
We again had a nice dinner at The Trio rest. which is said to be the best here.
Hope to write on either Jaipur, Agra or Varanasi.
