dhak! dhak! this was a wake up call by the cleaner boy of our bus around 6 PM. After a day full of travel, good food at Green Park, an hours play of card games, we slept, slept to the core without realizing that Barmer had arrived. It was me who got down to enquire, by the time the bus was empty!! told myself, not all wouldn't have got down for tea!! ;-) woke up Badri and Balaji, who were asking the wake up call question, " where are we?"
The night journey was comfortable despite heavy rains with 2-3 pit stops in the high way, journey was quite comfortable on the highway. Barmer is the biggest city on the high way towards Jaiselmer. we did not get direct bus from Ghandhidham. As soon as we landed in the bus station, rain picked up pace again, we ran for shelter. first inside the railway station and then took an auto to official bus stand. We bought tickets to Jaiselmer and got into one of the stoned buses (i do not know how to describe such a bus, there was water all over the place becz of leaks, holes in the windows and on the top of bus). the travel was colder. for the first time all our winter clothes are out from the back pack, still it wasn't enough!! with few stops, the bus finally reached Jaiselmer around 10.30 AM...
Thanks to www.wikitravel.org website, we had booked a room in artist hotel. People from that hotel received us in the bus stand, took an auto to the hotel, had tea and were preparing ourselves for a fun filled day in the desert city...
