After packing up our final camel camp this morning and saying farewell to our musicians Kishan & Atum we walked into the village of Jamba to visit the home of the chief M.P. Singh. We were welcomed into his home and his daughters painted henna designs onto Deb and my palms and then dressed us up into some of their traditional clothing for some photos. Before leaving the chief showed us the guest room where he explained how the opium utensil sitting on the mantle worked. After grinding the opium and mixing with water it is filtered and the guests sip from the chief's hand. None was on offer today as this is only used now on special occassions/festivals. We then travelled by mini van to Jaisalmer and were quite blown away when we pulled up outside our accommodation the Rang Mahal Jaisalmar. A hot shower after three nights camping always feels so good! A nice cold wine beside the pool before Siri picked us up to take us to some prime spots to se the sunset and then onto his digs for some more drinks and dinner on the rooftop overlooking the fort..quite a perfect end to the day.
