Jaisalmer

We left Ahmadabad to catch a quick 2 hour flight to Jaisalmer. Before we left we had a beautiful breakfast in the flower courtyard.

After a super short flight we arrived and we got picked up by the hotel's taxi. We're staying inside the old fort at the top of Jaisalmer as you're guaranteed to get a great view from your room and/or their rooftop restaurant. We didn't sleep due to both having pretty heavy colds our first night but had to change hotel anyway because they were full and we'd only initially booked one night.

It was a blessing in disguise as the next place we booked was 500 year old family home still owned by the ancestors who served the city's Maharaja and who now have three beautiful heritage suites their booking out to guests. Our room is stunning with beautifully carved pillars and a tiny balcony to relax on. Our host is also super attentive and so helpful, plus very knowledgeable to boot. The perfect place to lay low and ride out our colds.

We haven't done a great deal since arriving due to illness but we have watched the sunset from the roof, our host gave us a free walking tour of the town and we ate the best food we've had so far this trip. As we're starting to feel better we hope to venture out and visit some other sites and book our camel safari.

In the meantime we'll keep watching the pigeons trying to roost on our wall and watch the sunsets.Okumaya devam et
