Jaisalmer, Day 88, 89, 90, 91, 92, 93 & 98

Jaisalmer is a city at the far west of India, it is known as The Golden city because of the yellow sandstone used to make most of the buildings. I was not planning on staying in Jaisalmer as long as I did but I was waiting to find a group of people doing a 4 day camel safari in the desert so I could join them. I took 2 days and just sat around my hotel and relaxed.
