Jaisamere I arrived very early to Jaisalmere about 5am. The train had been completely empty, only 2 people in the whole of my carriage, which although allowing me to sleep better as it was quieter it did make me feel a little less safe. I made it in the end and found a Rickshaw to take me to the hostel I had booked the previous night.

Agra to Bharatput We woke up at 5am to be the first in line at the Taj Mahal. There were only a few security guards when we arrived, the quietest I have ever seen an Indian street.

Hikkadwa- We had an early start and headed for the bus station. The bus was so over crowded to Galle, but we still managed to grab a front seat. It's best to think of a Ryan air seat and cut it in half and then take away any padding whist sitting in an oven. Fun. That went on for 5 hours. We made it to Hikkadwa about 3pm.
