It actually rained last night which is very unusual at this time of year, here. Another foggy start to the day. Were held up for a few minutes on the outskirts of the city at a railway crossing followed by the usual mayhem once the gates blocking the road were lifted.
My holiday wouldn’t be complete if I didn’t fall ill; this time with a cold; pretty sure, caused by aircon. As today was all about the drive, I slept most of the way. Ursula informs me that I didn’t miss anything as the landscape was very flat and sparse with a few camels and goats here and there as we passed through villages. I was awake approaching Jaiselmer and noticed that there was a heavy military presence with trucks full of soldiers and the odd fighter jet flying through by now a clear sky. The locals tell us this is due to the close proximity to the Pakistani border.
Driving into town, one can’t help but notice the Fort on the hill towering over the town not unlike Windsor Castle in Windsor, England.
On arrival at the hotel, another beautiful palace; the tourist dollar spreads a far to provide a living to folks.
