Those are some names of indian dishes - doesn't it sound absolutely delicious ??? Well, at least stufabi is freaking out.
We are so happy with the indian cuisine, no problems with spiciness or with our stomach and the translations work pretty well because of our good friend LONELY PLANET.
Are you wondering where the picture above is taken ??? We will tell you soon.
It's taken in the desert Thar on our overnight camel-safari-trip from Kuri. You can see our camel-drivers while cooking the dinner: Rice, potatoes (aaloo), dal (lentils), chutney and chapati (tortilla-like bread). Fabi even tried to roll out the dough but the result acording to the locals was not acceptable so they sent her back to sit with the others around the bonfire.
Our trip to the desert is our highlight so far. It was a great experience to sleep in a great million-star-hotel ;-)

Our current location is Udaipur, the city of the lakes...another beautiful place in Rajasthan !!!
Next stop: Pushkar

Delhi - Rajasthan

We are writing from a magic place in the Thar-Desert - Old Fort, lots of Chraemerhuus-Places, friendly people, not much hassles with streetsellers and rikshaw-drivers (surprisingly)...it is the fabulous place called JAISALMER close to the border of Pakistan.
It was good to spend the first couple of days in DELHI, staying in a small guesthouse which belongs to a kashmiri family, eating dinner with them (only with the right hand !!!) while sitting on the floor and chatting with them. During the days we explored the two parts of the city (New and Old Delhi) where we also met our first holy cow in the middle of a traffic packed huge crossing (like a policemen)!!! At the same time we carefully checked what would be the best way to travel Rajasthan and here we are...
Against our concept we get around by a hired cap, driven by a Punjabi-guy called Coldeep. So far we visited Mandawa, Bikaner and now we are staying in Jaisalmer "the magic place in the middle of the desert Thar" !!!

- still no-sitting-on-the-toilet-the-whole-day-long

getting ready !!!

Only three days to go.
All done in Switzerland. stufabi is starting to fill the backpack, say GoodBye to friends and family and can not wait to be back on the road again!!!!!!
Jabadabadoooooooooooooooo !!!!!
