Incredible experience...
Super efficient updates! Your photos lifted up my spirits at the start of the day, thank you :D Just have a sudden thought.. that both of you are in a take-ur-own-sweet-time amazing race!
ReplyDeleteAmazing experience to be out in the desert overnight! Think I will be worrying about breathing in & eating the sand. Does your 'Shahi Palace' cost a bomb?
Oh yar, how did u all settle ur bowels in the desert? :P
ReplyDeleteI wan to ask if you ate sand sleeping in desert too! YH
ReplyDeletewow... this place is amazing. i always imagine sleeping under the stars. the only time i did was during camp @ sentosa, where there aren't many stars to begin with.
ReplyDeletehmm... does dinner comes with free supply of sand? :) hee since the food is prepared in the desert, i'm sure some of the sand flew in!

Yo, my mum said it's not good to sleep outside without any shelter! Why ill-treat your body... Hehehe!

Im starting to see India differently... and I agree with Seng, the picture of PY & the beer looks great! Shawn says look like beer advertisment.
