Just a quick note:
Ongoing Internet access issues means no photo's can be uploaded from here (our Hotel) at present. I've had a look at local Net Cafe's and they are very grim set-ups indeed.
This means we may not be able to let you see any photos until we get back to Chennai late on Sunday the 11th.
We booked the train yesterday, although we have again used the "Waiting List" system - this time on an "Emergency Quota" rather than a "Foreign Quota".
No idea what Emergency Quota means but if it gets us on the train we want then we'll use it.
Getting the yet to be fully confirmed ticket (which we have paid for) involved having to go deep into the recesses of an Indian Railways Admin Office - after first being allowed into the grounds by a Guard (with an Enfield) - and seeing a Senior Administrator who was most helpful indeed.
We have to wait until after 5pm on Saturday arvo to check if the ticket has been validated. Seems a weird system but we know it works.
Today we will visit the Tomb of a Muslim Saint (can't recall the name but probably had Muhummad in it somewhere). One trip a day is enough for us due to the heat.
Cheers,
