Bikaner has a lot of camels. This is a typical sight on the highway...
Along the highway we saw a few dead pigs, dogs, goats, and cows that had been hit by cars. It is amazing how the cows generally move aside for cars and trucks. Most cars travel at about 50 mph, then come to a screeching halt when a cow or goat crosses the road.
We stopped at a train crossing to wait for a train to cross. Hawkers came up to all the parked vehicles selling their wares, including a guy showing off his cobra.
For those who saw the movie " Slum Dog Millionaire", there is a scene in a restaurant kitchen where the boy is filling up water bottles with tap water and selling them to the foreigners who think they are drinking pure, bottled water. At this train crossing, there was a guy doing just that.
We arrived back in Jaipur in the late afternoon. We had a drink by the pool. The weather is great.... 70s in the day, and low 60s at night. We found another very modest restaurant (not for tourists), and had a delicious dinner there.
There were 2 vegetable dishes, a lentil dish, and plenty of naan. All for $1 each. We went to bed early, as we have to get up at 3:00 AM to catch an early flight back to Hyderabad.
