Waking up, at 4:30am to catch a train to jodhpur, think I had maybe an hour or 2 sleep.... between the mosquitos, and the epic dog fights, (pack vs pack) on the streets outside of the fort.... it wasn't pleasant (beds were pretty horrible, needed a good clean... as they really stinky)... train journey was around 6-7 hours... nothing too exciting! Had my first pomegranate.. as a snack on the train... Damn things... take a bit to eat.... cost probably 30 cents each... journey was pretty basic... hard to believe the carriages are only 7 years old... they feel atleast 30.... guess it's the volumes of people using them... arrived in jodhpur... homestay/villa we are staying in is pretty nice...very clean... is a bonus! Food was really good, probably the hottest so far in India....
Went out shopping that night with my room mate "J" or Jamie... rocked up to some 5000 year old temple, that was falling to bits.... the lady that was looking after it let us in... (after our driver.... kept knocking)... after there... so another temple for some of the kings that ruled the area... then into town for some shopping... kids... are "money please" geeeesh.... or after pens... is another form of begging... had a lady... we begging for some food... so I gave her some food.... then it was money please... our driver went mental at her.... came pretty close to punching her... was Damn!
Got a turban, have been wearing for the last couple of days... visited a store... got some Indian "Viagra" for "J' these young bucks need
Brought some cashmere stuff.... so hopefully mum you will be happy... a lot cheaper than the intrepid store... hopefully it's not fake! Seemed pretty reasonable... had my turban re-done... looked good... anyway here are some of the pictures!
