Bye bye Rajasthan (Jaisalmer, Jodhpur, Udaipur)

The past few days were quite relaxing. We went for a camel safari in Jaisalmer (the yellow city), it was cool although camels are not the most comfortable animals to have a ride on. Anyway, it was fun, though we didn't see the sunset at the dunes nor the stars at night time because it was way too cloudy. We had two meals there at the dessert prepared by our guide and driver (you don't want to know how they cleaned our plates…) The driver by the end of the evening was quite drunk so we had an exciting way home in a jeep.

After Jaisalmer we took a bus to Jodhpur and then to Udaipur where we finish our stay in Rajasthan. On this way we managed to collect our little rainbow of colorful cities (Jaipur - pink, Jaisalmer - yellow, Jodhpur - blue, Udaipur - white). Unfortunately, we are facing some problems with uploading pictures so you cannot see places that we've mentioned so far. Andrzej will try to add pics to this article later on.

Udaipur is just charming, with its famous lake and a lake palace in which James Bond "Octopussy" was shot. It's quite a peaceful place with relaxing atmosphere and great views. And for the first time since we arrived in India it's really hot and sunny all day long.


Today we will be on a road again, this time to Mumbai. Only 16 hours by bus (the train is already sold out) and there is supposed to be a highway although we probably don't want to know what this word means in Indian circumstances. We will see.
