| Team-BHP Support | Dune time Camel fun done, I decided to do some Wadi Bashing. As you can see I stuck to edge of dune as there was no recovery vehicle. Otherwise it would have been fun to try and go to the top of the dune Action pics from the few minutes of fun              |

| Team-BHP Support | Roti, Kapda Aur Makaan Kapda we were wearing, and The safari was a like a Makaan with so much luggage. However Roti was missing. Last meal was lousy maggi at Panamik, and atleast a Tea was required. but no dhaba in sight? What to do. Well fear now, Bawarchi is here  With the help of the umbrella and safari's shadow the fast winds were warded off, and it was time to have nice hot home made(well almost) tea! After that it was time to cleanup and loiter around. We would head to diskit on the off road track as it was more scenic The sky was clearning  The footbridge used to cross over to camel zone  Camel wallahs in their home grown offroader, the Omni  As for us, it was dune crossing and track following time. It had rained quite a bit, and the track was wet, not to mention slippery  The sun is setting  At the end, 4kms away is Deskit  the white elephant, still gleaming   We reached before 7, and had wonderful chicken we had ordered earlier. Our room was pure luxury. Big bathroom, nice hard mattress(great for my back), but room, and Airtel Dish TV. All for 500rs. The views from hotel were okayish, I took one long exposure from the roof before clouds came in again  After that, it was time to watch some TV, and and enjoy junk reality shows which dot various channels. Tell you what, TV after so many days is very entertaining. Caught up on the news also. Stock market was rising, and while we were gone, the downturn was lessetning. Though it had been a few days, it seemed we were out of touch for months! Since tomorrow we would cross two passes, and do a real long drive, we decided to sleep early. Plan was to get out by 8am, see Gompa and be on the road to Tangste by 9am. TO BE CONT................ |

| Mind boggling stuff mate!  IMHO the latter rainbow pics are even better than the previous ones and the long exposure shot is amazing. Must have been tricky; I believe you timed it pretty well. Awesome! |
