Fred from Corrie

Yes, as intimated towards the end of my blog yesterday, I was not at all enamoured with "hotel Pleasure" The place was run down and expensive (well it was 1GBP 50pence! what a rip off) and run by Indian Fred the butcher from Corrie. The SHOUTING! honestly. didnt get any peace at all until 11pm last night. Then I lay awake worrying about how crap the room was and how to move out in the morning. I made up an ace story and executed it excellently today.....SO now Im situated in a LOVELY hotel that is cheaper inside the fort. It was recommended by my friends in Jodhpur, so should have come here in the first place.

Ive had a little explore of the fort area this afternoon - boy this place is beautiful! The whole city is made up of sandstone so its pale yellow. Its famous for its Haveli's and so everywhere you look, you can see beautiful carvings in the stone. The fort is filled with little houses and temples of all shapes and sizes - the streets are little more than alleyways, and so you can really get some peace and get lost.

For my sins ive just signed up for a 3day 2 night desert safari on camel back....remember yesterday I said I wouldnt do that?!! hahaha. Oh well. Its billed as a NON tourist trip....so we shall see. I shall be sleeping under the stars for two nights (starting tomorrow) without a loo... (the man said...there are many loos all around...look at the bushes....) hahaha...

SO Ill be back in touch in a day or two with many hilarious tales of camel back.

love love
