An early starts for a 10am flight - 3hr delay meant we only got to Jodhpur after 2 pm, and after an 80km/h max speed taxi drive... 5 hrs later we rolled up to the foot of the old fort amid rumours that Shad's airport pickup wasn't going to plan back in Jodhpur.. The aiport was closing aas all the days flights had arrived and the "nic ROgers' sign weilding driver was being kivked out of the car park as he patiently attempted to wait for his cargo..
Obviously true to form 2 hrs later Shad came flying round an ancient corner of the Fort and almost ran us over in what was to be the first of many near misses in a tuk tuk for this threesome.
So we'd finally managed to meet up, and share a couple of room temperature Kingfishers on our balcony before heading over to the Rickshaw Run Base Camp for the New Years Eve shindig. After meeting up with Mike, Luce and Dave, we were shown to the yard where we first laid eyes on our hopefully trusty steed - and waht a beauty she was!
A couple of fireworks, some hugs and kisses, and a whole lot of G&T's, Kingfishers, and Haywoods 5000's later we retired back to the Fort for a good nights sleep and an early start in the morning..

Nice post. Thanks for sharing. 'Golden city' of Jaisalmer lies in the far west of the country, encompassing the astounding 12th century Jaisalmer fort. Check out direct Delhi to Jaisalmer flight.
