Intrepid as F*&k

Just had a pretty massive day sifting around the city of Udiapur, after getting here at 4 in the morning!

Caught our first 'sleeper bus' from Jaisalmer to here, which was definitely different. Basically you get allocated shelves in the seating comparentment of the bus (stil rows of seats underneath the shelves), with windows, curtains and matresses in them. Not too bad for all of like $10NZ for the whole journey. Classic-ist bit was finding out the hard way why its essential to empty your bladder prior to getting on the bus!

The bus ride was after a sweet day on foot around the Fort in Jaisalmer, coz we'd got back from our 2 day desert trek the night before. Desert trek was totally awesome; the pretty uncomfy camel riding well worth it for the sunrises, sets, stars at night and campfires. not to mention the afternoon siestsas.

The camels were awesome - such random ugly animals! They were grazin on trees when we were gathering firewood in the dark for the campfire, and they totally looked like contemporary dinosours. They've got a bit of attitude too, with one of our caravan doing this heinous lip-flap-tongue-poke move heaps during the day. Mating call apparently.... but could seriously do with some refinement! They're into excreting stuff too - with plenty of farts and burps whilst riding thru the dunes.

Can't remember when we last posted, so briefly before the desert in Jaislalmer we were in Pushkar. The highlight here DEFINTELY being hiring motorbikes and burning around town, plus to neighbouring Ajmer. Absolute shitta motorbikes though, with no less than 4 trips back to the rental dealer in the first hour to fix stuff / swap bikes.

Sweet, have got a bit of time up my sleeve so will try jam thu some photos!
