The morning started with Google maps boggling our minds and nearly getting our car stuck in a very narrow street. Luckily managed to get out thanks to the locals and then headed to the fort in an auto instead .
First order of the day was the zip lines over the Mehrangarh fort. Aanya was too short for it so there were quite a few tears (she had been eating heaps in the last few days to grow taller). Savik and I went on all 6 of them and it was such a great experience going over the lakes and fort walls .
We managed to convince the kids to see the rest of the fort as they feel they have seen a lot of forts. This one had some very glamorous rooms and palanquins. We then headed to the Royal temple, received blessings and then finished with Jodhpur .
Headed to Jaisalmer and we stopped for lunch along the way. The dhaba had photos of when Salman Khan (taken from their CCTV) stopped for lunch there and slept on the khatti. The kids then started striking Salman and Shah Rukh Khan poses, their Bollywood knowledge has definitely increased.
The landscape started changing and we left the mountains behind with the Thar desert taking over. Suddenly we started seeing so many camels roaming and spotted deer again, much bigger ones this time.
We reached Jaisalmer and said goodbye to Shamsu-ji, our driver for the last 3 days. We spent the evening at the Gadisar lake watching the laser and light show. The kids finally got to make a video on the spinning wheel and then ride a horse names Kajal.
After the show the whole area became so deserted as there was a mass exodus of the tourists. We were the only ones who hung around and had dinner there so had the whole place to ourselves .
Jaisalmer seems to be a much smaller and slower paced town than then ones we have visited. Looking forward to seeing more tomorrow .
