Hello there, well I'm in Sri Lanka and it seems like a beautiful day but I can't get out to see it! I'm in transit, for those of you who don't know I'm on my way to Mysore in India to practice Astanga yoga. I'm tired having just flewn half way across the world but I have a good few hours before my next flight so I thought it's as good as place as any to start my blog.
The journey to the airport was far from uneventful..........First I forgot my mobile and Marc and I despite being early for the first time in our lives as a couple had to dash back to get it. Then I find out there is a bus replacement for part of my rail journey, good job I allowed for delays, this added over an hour to my journey time!
As I was sat on the first train, a man with crutches got on and myself and the lady next to me helped clear the way for him. Then the door closed and this seemed to be to much for him and he collapsed, I caught him so he didn't bang his head but he was unconscious. I shouted across the carriage for a first aider but was for the most part ignored. This guy eventually stumbled forward but he seemed about to faint from the shock of it so I dashed off to get help. The only means I had for getting attention was this lever and I pulled it and stopped the train. Guy regains consciousness but is obviously very week train people sort it out and we are on our way again.
The next bus journey was uneventful, but on the following train I stumbled onto first class! Can you imagine, me and my backpack! I had to walk through three carriages to get to second class. Everyone was so rude I was relieved to get back to second class.
I'm excited obviously to be on my way to India but I'm pretty sure it hasn't really hit me yet. I hope you are all well and happy and can understand my jet lagged ramblings. I had to choose a picture to go with this entry obviously the taj isn't in the airport but I haven't taken any pictures yet. More soon........................
