December 2, 2014. To Bikaner

We traveled north and east, making a circle back toward Jaipur where we will end this leg of the trip.  We drove about 6 hours through the desert.  

1.  Hyderabad

2. Mumbai

3. Jabalpur

4. Khajuraho

5. Agra

6. Jaipur

7. Jodhpur

8. Jaisalmer

9. Bikaner

Bikaner is famous for its camel and wool.  We learned that this desert is the 7th largest in the world, and is the largest living desert (with people and animals living it) in the world.

We toured the fort.  It was interesting as it still has the beds, carpets, etc from when the royalty lived there.

Then we visited the Camel Research Center where we tasted camel milk and camel ice cream.

On to our hotel.  We were welcomed by this sign....see our name on the bottom.

We are the only guests here, other than a local wedding party. We rested by the pool, enjoyed free internet, then ate some regional specialties for dinner in the hotel dining room, its only customers.
