Jaisalmer(India)

so..day 2 in this nice place..started with sun as usual..
Jaisalmer town very seldom gets rain..
it's on the edge of the great Thar desert..bordering Pakistan..
temperatures can soar up to over 45 degrees Celsius..
it's possible to make camel safari's into the desert.
with a local guide of course..I was not interested at all..
first it's paying a tourist price..reminds me of the elephant
ride in Jaipur's Amber palace..it's all about a nice pic..
for richer tourists..secondly..it's huffing/puffing in extreme heat..
it was already a torture for the body..just to walk around in town..
Jaisalmer got nice little backstreet alleys..if one wanders in there..
one sees family life..woman preparing food...rice on a tray..
is thrown up in a plate..to separate..good and bad bits?
the local woman wear such nice dresses..very colourful indeed..
I went for information on train timings..and reservations...
I was planning to go via Jodhpur up to Abu Road...
and visit Mount Abu..that's a hill station..known for Jain temples..
Jodpur was about 7 hours train..I had to change there for Abu Rd.
a night train would be ideal..since it saves a night's sleep cost..
so..I wandered a bit more around in Jaisalmer..the qila is always
in view mostly..it's very impressiv..oh...and these haveli houses..
stunning..I visited the market street..very hectic..bought myself
some fruits..always healthy..some tout wanted to get me into a
dune safari trip to the dunes of Sam...about 45kms away..
expensiv as well..but..nice sunsets..no time..no money to waist..
and no interest as well..so...I was gonna take the night train..
towards Jodhpur..then train to Abu Road..cool hill station...awww..
