Friday : overcast We are 2134m high, back up in the mountains, and the temperature is noticeably cooler, the more important thing is the fresh air. There was a small amount of sun and blue sky this morning, but unfortunately no big mountains were visible. We have no plans for today, except to organize our plane tickets to Portugal, and back to Delhi. We left the hotel around 11am in search of some food, it took awhile to find anything decent aswell. We started...

Thursday : fine Well as predicted it was another sleepless night on the train, it was a choir of snorers. One guy was even screaming in his sleep.

On the way back to the hotel we stopped off at a restaurant and had some food ...

Monday : fine Well it was a quiet train trip, the Japanese ladies were a lot better to share the cabin with than the Vietnamese ladies. I just couldn't get a decent sleep going, maybe because the bed was rock hard. Being tired wasn't the annoying thing, the train being 5hrs late to Varanasi that was. Thankfully we weren't in the over crowded part of the train. We hopped off the train and were approached by this slick looking character. He was a taxi driver, we ...
