India  -  Part 13

 
Little children who live in the desert.Benjamin and Robbie in back of jeep riding in desert to Manwar Camp.The next day we woke very early for a plane flight to Jodhpur.  We had to fly back to Delhi to change planes because direct service to our destination was discontinued.  We met up with Uncle Eddie in Delhi, and he continued the trip with us for the next two days.  We arrived in Jodhpur and took a two hour bus ride to Manvar Resort and Camp.  Now it was my turn to be sick.  I felt funny just after dinner the previous night.  By midday, I thought oh, oh and did I get it?  By late afternoon, that was it.  I had Delhi Belly the rest of the day.  I was mostly better by the following day.  Unfortunately, I was sick the night of New Years Eve.  I had the chills and only blankets and a hot water bottle for warmth because we slept in tents.  When we arrived at Manvar, we took a jeep ride through the desert to reach the Manvar Camp.

Sunset in desert.Guests sitting around campfires at Manwar Camp.We saw the sunset in the desert.  At Manvar Camp tents were set up in a circle.  It looked like my childhood summer camp, Camp Sequoia with out the flagpole.  At night we stayed in the tents.  The shower was a pail of water and squirt hose.   During the evening's entertainment, the guests sat on pillows in the sand while appetizers were passed around. Dinner was held in the main tent.
