A caravan of domesticated bactrian camels roams the Gobi desert.

I ate something yesterday that's left me rather sick so I'm gonna keep this short and sweet. I don't know the exact culprit because in India, it could be just about everything but I'm gonna point my finger at lunch served on the train. Oi, whoa is me.

Non-India photo weekends continue.
