A quiet day

I was thinking last night about whether I really wanted to do the desert trip I had booked for today. I've got a cough and a cold (my first in years!), so I don't feel the best. I decided to cancel, so I messaged Rahul and then went for breakfast on the roof. Afterwards, I walked into the market to buy fruit and snacks, and to use the ATM. It was so quiet compared to last night. It was 10.30am, but there were very few stalls and shops open. Life here doesn't get going until later.

Having bought what I needed, I took a few photos and made my way back to the hotel, where I spent the day working.

This evening, I went up on the roof and had tomato soup and naan for dinner while I read my book.

When I had already gone to bed, Neelam from the Spice Girls of Rajasthan messaged me to ask if I wanted to do the cooking class tomorrow. I said yes, so she will send a tuk-tuk to pick me up from their second shop on Nai Sadak Road at 11.45am to take me to their home, a twenty-minute drive away.Read more
