CAMEL SAFARI in the Thar desert

It was GREAT! Although our butts are hurting like crazy after so many hours of sitting on these funny creatures - which are miving back and forth all the time (its VERY different from riding a horse)

It was great. We could lead our own camels (apart from Chris - who got an EVIL CAMEL - he was told he COULD lead it himself, but he happens to have that ugly custom of running into the bushes every now and than… no thank you!)

We met some really nice people - haha, especially the funny Italian-photographer boys John & Giuseppe.

The camel guys were singing funny songs all the time. We were going through the desert for hours. NOTE. It's not a sandy desert u might be picturing based on some movies. It's a desert covered with funny plants (cactuses mostly) and some funny (salty) watermelons.
The sand dunes are only in 2 places. We went there twice. During the day, and at the end - to see the sunset. It was GORGEOUS!

On the way we visited some primitive villages - with no electricity and people living in clay houses.

I really enjoyed the safari. And the funny lunch we had at the oasis. Cooked on fire by the camel boys. It tasted really good - I enjoyed it more than some restaurant food!
We went back to Jaisalmer after it got completely dark
