Namaste, from Bikaner (this smells slowly final);
We note that some photos of today may offend the sensibilities of some learners (Berta goes for you .)
Today the alarm for change has come prontito, 7:00 pm, as we have been with Chaman down at the entrance to the fort at 8. At 7:30 we were sitting asking for breakfast on the roof of our hotel and we believe that a
coming again is due to go for a walk because we have served almost at 8:15, (unless so bad that we only had to prepare ourselves that if we are still there) toast with butter and jam and coffee with milk (60 rupees). To tell the hotel that made us count the guy has been very well since we have not taken the day we did the desert, so we have given a good tip for the nice people who have been with us so that Jaisalmer CALCUTTA GUEST HOUSE, super recommended. (I must say that in high season is not at all India a double room for less than Rs 500-600).

(I must say that in high season is not at all India a double room for less than Rs 500-600). When we dropped our dear friend Chaman was waiting and apologize after we took highway to Bikaner. We expected 330 km, ie about 6 hours.
The first stop we made out soon, because something was wrong with the car. I did not say but go with this piece of car reminds me of the experiences we have had with the 127, you remember?, Because that had no mechanical problems are not solved with a hammer, and that is what has made Chaman has fallen, has taken his super
screwdriver and a rock that has caught the road and has been busy beating not know that, but after 2 minutes he almost slammed the hood down, the stone back to their place of origin and re-enters the car Chaman saying all OK. We asked if you like this car or prefer a more modern and says that because it needs more maintenance to penalties, hehe, good laughs we missed. And the next and last stop we have done after almost 2 hours and had breakfast Chaman is little and was hungry. We had enough to drink.

And the next and last stop we have done after almost 2 hours and had breakfast Chaman is little and was hungry. We had enough to drink. Along the way we talked a little with Chaman (which incidentally has not called the agency), wages, and here is that many people gain as a function of the tips they receive, to serve For example, a child of many there who work in a restaurant earns 20 rupees a day for work from
7 am until evening. It is quite unfortunate, but most of the time drinking their own medicine, as we think it is a system that does not work, since most of the time foreigners do not leave tips, then everything that contractors or site that you care for you enough, you do give tips to all ?........... in any case the solution to the misery of salary they earn is not in favor tips and flank with our tips do when they get used to money which is not always going to be so (passing the months that no tourists?).

By the way do not see anything, all desert, almost no villages, or "road bars, is a landscape of the most desolate and monotonous.
At 2:30 am we reached the hotel in Bikaner where Chaman has brought us, comes in the Lonely, is called HARAS HOTEL HAVELI and looks great. In time we asked 350 rupees price but after haggling Boat accept 250. The room is one of the best in which we
state, especially the bathroom is the cleanest.
Chaman We've told you we wanted to go to the people of Deshnok to see the temple of Karni Mata (temple of the rats), so that an hour later we see.
rosette spray to the restaurant and eat something. It seems that there are a few Italian dining at several tables. And we ask Beatriz noasotros to keep the usual rice with ................ well if ... with vegetables and cheese sandwichises me about for I have not really hungry. The site is very good and ALELUYAAAA, ............. incredible serve you fast, the first site where you
served in reasonable time ................ all very rich for 130 rupees including water.
served in reasonable time ................ all very rich for 130 rupees including water. When Chaman that does not appear ........... 15 minutes later appears quite angry, we say that's wrong and teaches us a receipt that apparently had to pay some taxa by The extra day supesto of 550 rupees, and say Y ?................... and bla bla bla ............. back to say you do not know what time it is not our problem, to call your boss, we talked yesterday with him and settle their .............. but Chaman accounts with anger screaming out for new wheels, and is angry that when he gives for running (if normal are 70 km per hour, when angry nearly reaching 80 ..........), we oblivious to it and the damn topic already happened to her. The truth is that anger will last 5 minutes, as soon as you smile again.
The Karni Mata temple is 35 km south of Bikaner in a small town;
The temple is one of the most unusual in India, according to legend, Karni Mata, an incarnation of Durga who lived in the fourteenth century, asked the God of death Yama back to life the son of a famous storyteller. When Yama refused, Karni Mata reincarnated all storytellers in rats killed Yama to deprive of human souls, later reincarnated in humans. Thousands of rodents sacred or Kabas, no feel good at the squeamish. After admiring the silver gates and marble carvings donated by the maraja Ganga Singh, the visitor enters the domain of the rat, hoping that some will pass over your feet. We need to open your eyes if you see a white rat, a sign of good luck. According to believers, eat prasad (holy offering of food) Saliva from these rats also brings good luck. The temple is an important center of pilgrimage and what may seem strange to Western eyes is believed to devotion by pilgrims.

On the way there we were talking among ourselves about how serious, Beatriz saying that insurance is not going to go and I putting me as a condition to less power wear hose. On reaching the temple we see outside is worthless, the only entry that is quite pretty and white Marmalades very carved silver doors carved quite well. We were barefoot and if we can get the shims so .................. inward. We begin to see a few rats around, but at a distance, are not very large. I'll go ahead and seeing a very close Beatriz my feet ................... enters and tells me that this comes out giving quite disgusting (the truth is that if you give a little). I continue to within and completely surrounded by rats and get my camera to take pictures, and a guy approaches me with a book and tell me if I photos I have to pay 20 rupees, which already
knew (free admission), so I pay the 20 rupees and there that I'm taking pictures, I see people sitting on the floor, gives a lot of creepy to see so many rodents everywhere, some on the ground, others hung from the windows and doors, jumping, eating, fighting ......................... to reach the center, which is where the altar as it were, within a small room, I say I can not go because I am not induced, but I can take pictures from the doorway, so I cleared some people stay and do a few pictures, eating rats, a small door and no silverware more. get people to give prasad and they put something in the body
fr. I continue to mine, surrounding him y. everywhere ........... taking the photo you see the bowl as an innocent little animal noticed I walk right up to him and move no more she leaves. Honestly has little apart from the curiosity of a temple of worship to such animals. At first I thought that many were killed because they were like upside down without moving, but it must be the heat that also stuns the rats. Leaving Beatriz tells me that a few people had just said come in, including a woman induced the accompanying but says no.

I do not see any white rat but if I climbed that one, so I think it says will give me luck with tradition.
While I was doing a photo to people around the area had been crying Chaman Beatrice, telling her that he had almost no money, extra laps on the day .............. boring and tell me if I say we go and wait, and he tells me, it's not that you want to go but the Shaman was hitting a piece of metal did not know how out of the way ........ ...................
After 5 minutes we got into the car, because at least there is something in the air conditioning and repeat something because it's the only thing that has failed the car a fit and we turn towards Bikaner.
After nearly an hour we were back at the hotel and had about an internet, so on we went. Ask price and tells us that 10 rupees an hour, we were surprised because in any place we have become so cheap. The average price of internet time here in India is 30-40 rupees, in places 20 and we have to pay up to 70. Here in Bikaner we are told everywhere costs the same, removing from 21:30 hours and get no light generators and charge you 25. When we tell the guy that says I need usb port which is 40 rupees per hour as ?................ .......... and if you want to download something is paid for every mega ....... well that is better than all-inclusive charge you but anyway ....... ........... Total we published yesterday.
When we finished, and all-night we returned to the hotel for dinner, and there's nothing around and we got on the roof, that last site, the views ....... but when night is not much, there was live music and all the tables with candles. So cenita romantic candlelight, and I plant sandwichises Beatriz BY FINNNNNNN some meat ................ rice with vegetables .................. POLLOOOOOOOO yyyyyy is the only meat you can eat in India (which we've seen) and not many sites, is somewhat more expensive but really fancy. Total for dinner with bottle of water and two pineapple lassi were exquisite pay 215. The penalty was that the live music did not last long, it is known that already had a good time. And also ran a brisilla ligeriiiiisima not too hot.
With the same rosette spray and sleep tomorrow at 8 we left with Chaman for the final trip to Delhi, there are still 530 km ahead. ie about 10-11 hours.
All over India are symbols (swastikas) as e
Photo l do not know if someday we have discussed before but it means good luck, old solar symbol of life and perfection, specifically put it in the doorways (we do not know if it means you barefoot), but also the symbol of what you have seen in the car that we and countless walls, various objects ...... Here you enter the home when they also remove their shoes and even a store as well, although the only foreign force us in the temples, so almost all Hindus are in flip flops

Beatriz regard to tattoo each day goes better, still remained a small camel lace but no longer secure tomorrow. I respect what the celebrities think that wants to change the country and see other people. And Gerard tell she knew it, knew you would not buy it from nothing by CAPRICHINESSSS. I'm glad a lot, certainly not if you read the mail.
kisses and hugs as appropriate.
