When we visited Captain’s Desert Camp in Wadi Rum Jordan, we met a camel that our driver Mahmoud helped bring into the world two weeks earlier.
When a person has a bad experience doing something normally they will say to themselves…”Never Again.” When Dave and I have a bad experience, we say to ourselves…”We need to find way to give this another shot.” When we learned that we could go on a camel safari in Bikaner, a town 300 km north of Jaisalmer we just had to give it another try. The Camel man is an eccentric man that drives around in a Range Rover wearing a wide brimmed hat and impeccable suits. Vijay is his name and he has been running camel safari’s since 1983.
We awoke bright and early to catch our tour to the desert. We were excited to be on our way. A camel safari was a big item on our list of adventures that we wanted to do in India. The day was bright and sunny and we drove out 30 km towards the Pakistan Border. We were happy to see that we had 4 camels and two guides. That is until our jeep left.
In Six Days we will be in India. While it is drawing closer with every minute, it doesn’t even feel like in less than we week we will be on the other side of the world. We may be starting in India, but we have a lot of countries on our itinerary and we can’t wait to visit all of these destinations. So we want to share with all of you the adventures that we are most looking forward to in our upcoming travels. Will Dave be wrestling in Mongolia or will we find ourselves taking part in a Pilgrimage…Most Likely. We just can’t wait to get this adventure started!
