Our final day in Jaisalmer was a long one. Not for any other reason other than our train leaves at 1am, so we have to stay awake for a long time. For that reason we stayed in bed a little longer before exploring Jaisalmer for the last time.
We headed straight for brunch filling up on fruit before hitting the lassis. We walked a lot visiting lots of beautiful Havelis and actually making it to the 7 interconnecting Jain temples before they closed. The carvings were exquisite!
We sat and people watched a lot and found a quaint little park away from the hustle of Jaisalmer. We were the only ones there and found a nice bench in the shade of a tree. It wasn't long before we were interrupted. First a friendly dog came over to say hello. Next a goat rocked up for a chat!
We saw a viewpoint on the map so tried to find it. However we walked too far and missed the turning. As it was getting towards sunset we headed back to the fort to find a suitable spot to watch the sun disappear into the desert. We tried a few roof top restaurants that all had good views but eventually settled on a quiet spot between the turrets. It was a great sunset. Not a cloud in sight!
In the darkness we headed to our regular restaurant, filled up on another fine Indian spicy curry and left very full. However, there was a tiny space remaining for our last special saffron hot milk delight, which we thoroughly enjoyed before heading to the train station for our 1am train.
