Check out time for Hotel Paradise is 0900hrs, sigh had to get up early. We checked out at about 0930hrs and went for breakfast with Yili and Lide at the restaurant we went yesterday night. After breakfast we went walking around the town as Yili wanted to do some shopping.

We tag along as we didn’t know that to do and didn’t want to go sightseeing at the city palace as we thought it will be the same as the rest we saw along the way before we arrived in Jaisalmer. Maybe tagging along wasn’t a good idea as I bought a slipper and 2 bags.. Anyway it was very cheap so I couldn’t miss the chance and knew I would regret if I didn’t get it. Ramli didn’t loose out also, he tailored made a Punjabi looking top and ali baba pants in white which he say will be used for prayer during this ramadhan and could be used later back home.. It is very rare for him to want to buy anything so I was happy for him… kekekke

Time pass so fast, before we knew, it is already 1600hrs and we had to go back to the hotel to grab our bags and head to the train station to catch our train at 1715hrs. While we were walking up the slopes into the fort towards our hotel we saw a familiar face in the auto rickshaw passing us. It was Joanne !! The girl from New castle that we met in Chitwan, Nepal. Was good feeling to see her again and she is also taking the same train as us to Delhi.

Man sewing a bed cover.

We gathered our things and got to the train station. Lide and Yili was also taking the same train but in a different coach. We told them about Ajay guesthouse in Paharganj and told them they have to stay at that hotel as it is really worth the Rp700.. We decided to bring them there when we arrive at Delhi since we also need to find a room to put our bags and rest for the night while waiting for our 0440hrs train.

The train left Jaisalmer at 1715hrs and would arrive at Delhi old station the next day about 1100hrs. We settled in our seats and rested for the night and waited anxiously for Delhi to arrive….
