highlights of desert
Afternoon. More tours around more villages.
Night: Stay at some sand-dune-look-alike area.
The village kids are inventive; they invented their toys from garbage. They are also good at detecting valuables from the tourists. They do take things, but they never steal (all kids around India is like this, they don't steal, unlike what had been described in the movies. They are very nice and honest kids). When they take things, they would ask first, perhaps in a very aggressive way, but will eventually return the stuff if you insist.
Later at night We invited a musician and his son for 200R. They sang the Rajasthani music.
Oh, and the desert is full of life (or life forms). Mice and dung beetles are not shy of sharing your bed. A long ride through many Indian villages.
13/12/04 10:12 am On the camel back: The flies are building their little colonies on the camel neck. They mate, build little houses for their families and send their little cutie maggot children to the nurseries.
The full circle of life can be observed from the camel neck.
