Day 7 - Jodhpur / Luni

By now fatigue had started to set in. It was a longish drive and the roads weren’t as good as what we were used to. Besides the city traffic of Jodhpur can even sap energy out of a playboy bunny!

The Mehrangarh fort was probably the best maintained. Infact it’s sad that the same effort wasn’t taken to maintain the fort in Jaisalmer that is 5 centuries older and has a more premium “heritage” tag.

The drive to Luni though only 50 odd kilometres almost seemed like a trip to infinity…probably because the flesh was weak and the spirit was failing. It was a beautiful ancient haveli that was converted into a fort. There was probably more to discover in and around the place…however the weary soul took solace in a few drinks by the bonfire.

Distance so far – 1657 km
