The journaling continues, the last three days I have been in Jodphur, known as India ‘Blue City’. Many houses and buildings are painted blue, and there is an effect when you see it from the rocky hills that surround Jodphur, but what puts Jodphur right on the map is the fort to end all forts. …
Hi folks, continuing on in my journal/diary style blogging from my India/Sri Lanka tri, here’s the lowdown from the last few days. Sunday 18th of March Dawn arrived in Jaisalmer.

Thursday 15th March A day trip to Pushkar was the order of the day. I was pretty impressed by on time trains as I headed to this holy town for Hindus, and popular hangout place for travellers. I’d visited in 1999 but had no real photos of Pushkar or much memory. There is a small …
