Made my own way into town as I was starting to feel a bit fat. Being driven around everywhere is nice but you need to stretch your legs and walk to get the real feel of a town. Bumped into Baguan again while getting some photos developed and he showed me around more of Jaisalmer after which I bought him lunch.
Later in the afternoon, Khan took me to the lake which used to be the town's water supply but is now a tourist attraction. Had a paddle boat to myself which is a bit of a bugger when you're supposed to have 2 people in it to maintain balance!!! Deftly peddled my way around for half an hour taking some nice pics.
Sunset beckoned so went to sunset point for a photo of Jaisalmer at sunset. Khan showed me a spot where you get the same photo and don't have to spend 4 quid to get in! Nice one Khan!
Spent the evening in the towm and went to a nice rooftop restaurant, the same as I went to with Baguan. Still we were the only people there! Does this lace have any other customers ever??? My luck was in because there were two totally excellent Rajasthani musicians and singers who looked the part and played their heart out for me. They were afraid of the owner who shouted at them constantly even though they were great so I have them a hefty tip so ease their day....
Will be glad to leave Hotel Sudarshan tomorrow. Too many bugs and far too dirty. Must tell the lizzard in my room to work harder!
