I'm really slipping away from volunteering at the moment. I'm having serious trouble contacting new hosts. The farm up north that stopped answering my e-mails was just the first one. I've contacted two other opportunities though Workaway, but to no avail. One is located here in Jaisalmer. I'm still giving them until Tuesday. Then I'm leaving through Jodhpur to Pushkar and from there on Wednesday to Ajmer where my train to Mumbai leaves at 11am.
While I'm waiting, I'll do a two night camel safari starting tomorrow morning. I'm really looking forward to sleeping under desert stars. I've heard the starry sky is something special when the air humidity is so low. I'm not sure it's much different from the stars in Finland during the freezing winter nights, but at least sleeping will be a little more comfortable...
A little piece of disturbing news arrived me today as well. The golden temple pilgrim's lodge dorm apparently has bed bugs. There was some talk of it while we were there, but I didn't take it too seriously then. The three people I came to Amritsar with, have had bad cases of rash the last couple of days and they even had to throw away some of their things. They're still not quite sure whether they're clean or not. Strangely enough I haven't noticed anything so far. After I read the e-mail, I definitely felt itchy all over, but that's just a mental reaction I get from hearing stuff like that. I was using my own camping mattress on top of the dorm sheets and my sleeping bag on top of it. Maybe that's what kept me clean.
