Camel Trekking in the Jalsamer Desert

We went for a 24 hour camel trek in the desert, Lawrence of Arabia style. Slept under the stars and ate fresh food. Lucky thing we had a bucking broncho at the work Christmas party, because staying on a running camel is an art form. The weather was incredibly hot, probably touching 40 degrees in the early afternoon, we had to stop, eat and lay down for a couple hours. Really don't know how the camel guides do it day in day out, 24 hours was hard enough! The next day we had a 90 minute trek back to the jeep and roughly 60 minutes of that was running. The guides found our cries of pain, stemming from strain to the crotch area, hilarious. I've been walking like John Wayne for the last couple of days. That silhouetted picture of a person on a sand dune is actually me, how cool is that?! I have more pictures to upload but I'm mostly using ones taken by other people as I don't have a laptop to plug my SD card into. I'm in Jodhpur at moment, staying in a nice guest house. I'll try and get some more pictures up by the middle of the week.
