We did have time for one stop on the way - the sand dunes in the desert! As the sun was about to set we passed a couple of wonderfully untouched sand dunes in the middle of nowhere! We managed to convince Mithun, our travelguide, that we needed to stretch our legs, and that there were no better place than here.
In jaisalmer we had a nice hotel but most of us were to tired to do anything else that sleep in the evening. But the next morning we again got up early because our sightseeing program was packed! We started out at an artificial lake that was made to provide clean drinkingwater to the people of Jaisalmer.
There was A LOT of catfish in that lake, and when you threw out a bit of bread they would be lying so close in the water that it looked like it was only fish and no water!
In Jaisalmer We went inside the city fort, And inthere we entered a couple of jain temples. They were small but beautiful, and while we were in there a small group of nuns (or whatever the hindu-ones are called).
We had a lot of fun taking amazing photos in those wonderful settings. Like a dream!
After all of this we took the bus a ouple of hours outside Jaisalmer to our new hotel - a desert hotel - all the 'rooms' were actually tents and in the afternoon we went for a desert safari riding camels. It was awesome even though it was pouring down from above. I was on the camel with Riina and we had so much fun!!! In the evening we had a traditional dinner and danced with unaks (men dressed like women) All in all a great day!
