Cycling in India day 8

Rode out of Jodhpur after 7, first day without a jacket. Rode 120 km on back country roads through flat desert scrub land with few villages.
We saw large and small deer-like animals as well as a mongoose. There were cattle along the road as well as goat Jefferson.
The shepherds carry long staffs with hooked knives on the end which they use to cut high branches, and feed them to the goats, so that many of the trees are pollarded.

Nice welcome in a little hotel called Fort Dhalmi which offers a peaceful oasis in the village.
