Woke up to a clear sky for a change. Ursi wanted to take advantage of the clarity to take more photos of Lake Gadisar in Jaisalmer and remembering that a happy wife is a happy life, duly obliged a stopover. Followed by a visit to a silver maker to buy a couple of trinkets. After the couple of detours, we finally left Jaisalmer. As was the case on our way into the city the way out had a heavy military presence with lot of army trucks on the road; along with the odd herd of camels and goats.
Approaching Jodhpur, sandstone quarries are seen on both sides of the road along with a small number of villages. Once inside the city limits, scores of children in their school uniforms (a legacy of the British influence during the days of the Raj) were seen making their way home judging by the time of the day and the smiles on their faces.
This town has a major military base which is openly on display with patriotic slogans.
We were blown away on arrival at our hotel, WelcomeHotel (that’s what it is called). It’s 3 Year’s old and located in 13 acres of beautifully landscaped grounds. It has the best interior detail and design we have experienced on this trip along with second to none service and food. They also follow the British tradition of providing complimentary afternoon tea (served in proper tea cups of course) with a local song and dance performance.
