Fri 16th 9am tour of Old fort with guide - bit touristy but interesting. Managed to avoid buying anything despite being taken to many shops by guide. Late pm went 50 km into desert for camel safari.

...the ever present fear of being run over! Hee hee, its not that bad. We arrived in Jaisalmer yesterday.
