Jodhpur

We hurtled across Rajasthan in a bus bound for Jodhpur. It was hard to leave Mount Abu.  We tried to move the bus we had booked for a third time but this time they weren't having any of it. We spent the last couple of days doing much the same: eating great thalis, trekking in the mountains and drinking with our new friends. All in all a great time was had.

Jodhpur is a thoroughly likable city with many of its buildings painted bright blue, giving it a unique, blue-washed look. We're staying in a beautiful, 400 year old Haveli in the (quieter) old city. The fort here is excellent, with awesome views of the city and a superb audio tour (and this is definitely a rarity in India!). We plan to spend a few days here before heading up to Jaisalmer, on the edge of the Thar Desert.
