Christmas in Jaisalmer
25.12.2011 - 26.12.2011
Wow, Merry Christmas everybody!
My Christmas began with an early morning public bus from Jodhpur to Jaisalmer. Took a travel sickness pill and slept the entire way. NICE!
Here, Jaisalmer is beautiful. It doesn't seem as touristy, and the buildings all look like they sprang up out of the sand. The fort is huge, and one of the only living citadels left, a quarter of the city's population live there. It is described as a huge sand castle, and it's easy to see why. The views from it are incredible. Went out for a lovely Christmas dinner, followed by beer and rum on the roof of our hotel.
This afternoon we are going on a camel safari out into the desert, where we will sleep in tents! I'm pretty psyched, and I'll bring lots of pictures home (probably mostly of my camel :P).
Missing you all, Christmas is weird away.

Nan- in case Ash didn't tell you, a carpet may be arriving for me. Actually two. Thanks. Also I was going to try calling for Christmas, but the lines were all busy. Hope it was a blast.
