I caught the night train from Jaisalmer to Jodpur with the same two German girls who travelled with me from Delhi to Jaisalmer. When we reached Jodpur at 5.15 in the morning (or should I say night) we decided to walk from the station into town. We were followed by a posse of rikshaws, who simply refused to believe that we actually wanted to walk. A hotel owner grabbed the girls and persuaded them to come to his hotel, only to find, when we got there that the room he wanted to let to us was currently occupied, until 10am. So we went up onto the roof to watch the sun rise and admire the fort, a formidable looking structure that dominates the town below.
