JAISALMER

I <3 THE DESERT

sleeping under the stars in the middle of nowhere (minus the story about the hotel owner who tried to make a move on me) was freaking amazing

more camping adventures forever!!

seriously, I can't remember the last time I was able to see out to the horizon in every direction... and not only that - to not hear a single car or motorcycle horn honking for the first time since I came to India... the stars were all so clear in the sky and the colours were like a rainbow in the sand... it was just magical :)

PLUS; thanks to the hotel owners who took me around to forts and deserted towns nearby and brought me whiskey bhang campfires and great chinwags :) Bless!!

AND AND AND my amazing albino indian camel driver Pattan <3 who took me to his village the next day after everyone else had abandoned - I had so much fun with his nephew and local children ^-^ "1 photo 1 photo"

I could write more but I am internet-cafe-wi-fi-hogging 8)

lazing around in desert camouflage 

pattan had made a little wall here to block the wind and sand while we slept :) it's his favourite little place in the middle of nowhere apparently

above: sunset.....

and below..... after THE INCIDENT... I stayed out in the desert alone and pattan woke me up so that I could watch the SUNRISE ^-^

whipped me up a desert breakfast, I ate one of the eggs because I didn't want to be rude, but anyway - then away we went!!! (my butt still hurts)
