Rajasthan

---

I have been in Rajasthan for the past 10 day. It is the driest part of India and home to the mighty Thar desert. Started of in Jodphur. There is a huge fort here which seems to rise straight out of the desert. We did the tourist thing and looked round it with an audio guide! It was interesting and really impressive though with loads of cool weopons! We then went to Jaisalmer where we met up with Sholto. There is another fort here but this time we stayed in the fort. Our room was in the fort wall and was like a desert palace room! It is amazing some of the places you can get for just over 2 quid a night! From here we were taken out in to the desert and did a camel trek. We stayed out for two days and two nights sleeping under the stars. It was really good fun but you get a bit sore riding a camel for two days!Today we arrived in Pushkar. It is a nice Hindu holy place with a lake in the middle where Hindus go to bathe and drink the water (yuck!). Not sure how long I'm staying here. I've been struck down with Delhi Belly so will stay until i recover! Maybe drinking some of the holy water from the lake may help?
