Onwards to Jaisalmer bordering the Thar desert. After a long and bumpy overnight bus ride, with accompanying horns with multiple tunes blaring throughout the night, we arrive in Jaisalmer to then be separated and surrounded by rickshaw drivers yelling "10 Rupees" and guest house hustlers bidding for our custom. Stressful times! Jaisalmer Fort is made of yellow Jurassic sandstone and is still inhabited by two thousand people. The streets are quaint and windy and the facades beautifully intricate. It was nice to just have a wander and admire the old old buildings still full of life and living.
The sunset was glorious and gave the sandstone fort a warm, golden hue and then out in all directions was the flat, arid, sparse landscape. Pretty much incredible.
