Today was our guided tour of Jaisalmer with Puri (nicknamed by us Fagan). First stop was to the man made Gadhisar Lake full of catfish that are fed by visitors. Then off to explore the Fort which is built along with rest of the city from golden sandstone, hence the name the Golden City. This is the largest fort in India that is still inhabited and working. Beautiful stonework and engraving everywhere you looked. We walked the narrow lanes and visited the Jain temples within the fort. Then onto a couple tuk tuks to the local textile shop where a couple of purchases just had to be made. Last stop was the silver shop which was a bit disappointing so saved our pennies there. Pity I've left my togs in Delhi as I wasn't able to join Laurie and Deb for a swim in the pool back at the hotel. dinner tonight in the beautiful gardens of our hotel.
