My worst evening so far. We were invited by some couchsurfers we had met the previous night to go to their city farm the following day to have some food together. We accepted on condition that we'd be home by 11 pm as we had to catch an early bus in the morning. By 12 am food was not even ready yet. In the meantime they had drunk two bottles of whiskey between the four of them and had started to become annoying and made us feel really uncomfortable. They wanted us to be cheerful, laugh at their stupid jokes and join in the drinking but at that time of the night we were too tired for any of that. One of them in particular was really unbearable and I had to restrain myself in order ... read more

Ons laatste rustpunt in heel de India Madness. Camelride, dessert, sleeping under stars, veel zon..een mooie plek om India mee af te sluiten was het zeker :) Het ziekenhuis was wel iets anders. Aangezien mijn voet nog steeds opgezwollen was, besloten we om toch maar eens een ziekhuis op te zoeken. 2roepies (20 cent) voor een consultatie, 5min later en een dosis antibiotica bleek ik skininfection te hebben. Dit was onmogelijk dus de voorgeschreven antibiotica heb ik maar gelaten voor wat het was. Up to Bangkok, en hier was ik niet treurig om! :) ... read more

Unfortunately our train from Jodpur to Jaisalmer arrived precisely on time. I was expecting the usual small delay of a couple of hours so was not entirely ready to depart the train when it came to a stop at 5am sharp. I woke with a start and instinctively sat bolt upright, banging my head on the bunk above and disturbing the thick layer of dust and sand that had entered the windows overnight to settle on my sheet sleeping bag. My morning yawn sucked a great lung full of this desert accretion deep into my lungs which triggered a coughing fit, which caused me to again bang my head, which disturbed more dust, which caused me to swear, which necessitated a large lung full of air... I did manage to extricate myself from this unfortunate self ... read more

We caught the night bus from Udaipur to Jaisalmer, about 12hrs. At around 3am in the morning we were told to get off the bus and change onto another bus. We were dropped off in the middle of nowhere, half asleep and had no idea what was going on!! Luckily 5mins later another bus pulled up and we were on our way. Arrived in Jaisalmer at about 10am the next morning, as we got off the bus we were met by hoards of touts wanting our business all screaming in our face, was a nightmare!!! Before we got to Jaisalmer we had arranged with the hotel in Udaipur a hotel that would pick us up. We found our guy and were relieved to get in the car. We made our way to the Himalayan Guest House ... read more
