Rajahstan

We are in Rajahstan about 50km from the Pakistani border and about to visit a medevil fort.
So many photos which I can't upload because no wifi.
All most exotic and rather bizarre.

Arid beige and green countryside with camels, goats and sheep galore and rather brightly colored birds.
COWS aplenty of course, wandering about quite cheerfully.
Dogs everywhere - mostly lying beside the road dead asleep and rather likely to become really dead.... but haven't seen a single cat.
The women wear the most
vibrant and astounding clothes.

Visited the Viceroy's Palace in Bikaner yesterday where a small first world war plane was displayed in the main hall and could have done with a little dusting.
Lots of faded photos of Raj era dignitaries and pelts of tigers on walls etc etc.
Impossible to visit all your blogs - but I would if I could!
Love to all.
