After a long train journey and relaxing in Jodhpur, the Thar desert was next on our list. We were lucky to be able to stay with this awesome tribal family who were so generous to us. They cooked us amazing meals and made our beds up. The tribesmen performed a Rajasthani folk dance for us, which we later joined in with and had a large amount of fun.
We woke up at 5 in the morning for our camel rides. I’d already bagsed the biggest camel and I obviously hadn’t realized that camels in the Indian desert are a lot bigger than camels in Noosa. Luckily my behemoth camel wasn’t very fast so I didn’t fall off .
After being fed this massive amazing Indian breakfast we left the hut and went back to Jodhpur to see a memorial and the fort. They were really good, the fort was the best one though…it looks over the whole city and almost the entire city is blue. The tour guide said that painting the houses blue makes them cooler in summer. I don’t believe him.
After a nice trip away, we are now back in the volunteer house, which has started to fill up. We are having a large amount of fun and everyone is getting along really well.
