The train arrived a-okay,.but late by an hour. Not too bad, but I couldn't phone the people at the volunteer place I'm staying at (I' teaching in Delhi slums). But I ran straight to a security guard, got directed straight to the pre-paid taxis, and then straight into an auto-rickshaw to go to my accomodation. It was a fun journey! My driver spome very little English but he was insanely happy. Laughing over every bump (of which there were many :P ) but it was a ni...

Gotta say, I did like that train journey! And the sleep was sooo much better then on a bus :D we met a german couple getting the same train, which was nice, knowing there are more people confirming it's the right train. Interesting toilets too, going straight on the track. :/ though coming out of the train station was insane! Immediately accosted by hundreds of rickshaw drivers and a small boy who followed us everywhere. Oddness! We found a good hostel though (...

The bus journey here was the worst yet! So insanely bumpy, even on smooth roads! And as we were at the very back we had to clambor over loads of bundles and boxes people leave in the aisle. Not fun! But we got here at least, so no lasting halm done. And our hotel here is fantastic! 250 rupes and it's got a tv, wardrobe, chair and table and pretty nice beds. Taj Plaza; I recommend! They even sorted out a last minute train ticket to.Varanasi for us! Our tour of th...

Oh my goodness, cold for the first time in India! Our overnight bus wasn't too bad, but it was so cold! And when we arrived at around 5:30am in Udaipur it was so cold! Luckily the second hostel we tried,.Hanumangah, had a cheap room free so we could just go and sleep straight away. We woke up properly around 11ish, sorted out checking in properly and had a tour around town in a tuk-tuk. First we went around the lake, then up into a museum with loads of pictures...

And onto Jodhpur we went! I'm glad I had this city recommended to me; it's very beautiful. We arrived at around 10pm on our bus from Jaipur feeling a little disorientated by the journey, though it wasn't as bad as some people have said. I think it helped to have someone with me though, or I'd have been scared and paranoid about missing my stop. As it was we were dropped off somewhere random I swear was not the bus station. Then off to find our guest house, Baba H...
