We picked a few odd things from here and there. Not too much shopping. A pair of slippers, a skirt here, an earring there. We did sample the local yet very famous Bikaneri rasgullas, namkeen and ghewar. That closed our eating local delicacies part of the trip.
On the way back we stopped at the house of one of my dad's uncle's in Punjab. They have an orange orchard. We spent some time there and N got to experience a tractor, a buffalo and a hand pump first hand. He was so happy to pump out water by himself :) A chatting session and a sack full of oranges later we were off for home!
It was a great time, time well spent - re bonding, laughing, chatting, sight seeing and shopping :) Cheers to the last day of this road trip and here's to many more!!

Hey Sim,
ReplyDeleteSeems you are having a good time.i just went to Bikaner almost a month back and visited the Junagarh palace.I have lot of childhood memories with Bikaner as this is my hometown.Did you visit Deshnokh Temple(the mouse temple)as it is commonly called.
Hey Anuja, We spent just 1 day in Bikaner and when we were crossing Deshnokh temple it was quite late in the evening already so did not stop. Maybe next time :))
DeleteThe photos look so vibrant, does not look like an old fort :). Though I studied in Rajasthan, I have not rally seen much of it. It's been lovely to get these glimpses from your posts!
ReplyDelete:) Aparna the fort has been maintained really well! I was impressed actually.
DeleteSounds like a wonderful visit.. beautiful photos of the fort too.

I have been so bad at reading up the other blogs and writing on my own. Too much going on for a regular sit and write routine. But guess, that's life!! :) Thanks Meera!
