Wednesday
Today is a day off for us at the guest house where we have spent the day lounging around, reading our books, paddling in the pool and generally being very hot. Mrs Bhandari's fish curry for tea before a fairly early night and setting up mozzie defences.
Absolutely nothing was achieved today but it was nice to just veg out!
Thursday
Following breakfast we cleared up the room, packed the bags and then had to sit around and wait until it was time to go to the station. 2 o'clock came and we got in an auto and went to Amritsar Junction - we made our way to platform two and a little while later the Shane Punjab Express arrived form Delhi. It was about a 25 minute turn around of the train and it left on time to return back to New Delhi. I plugged in my ipod, as I had finished my book, and spent the majority of the 8 hour journey rocking out. One big error we did make was that we did not take anything to eat as we assumed we would be given food like the journey here. Luckily every time the train stopped people got on selling an array of food and drink ranging from chai and tomato soup to crisps and samosas.
We arrived in Delhi at 22.50 and got a very expense auto to the hotel - night time rates??. After a quick birthday call to Mrs G's dad (happy birthday papa T) we got into bed. Unfortunately having missed television over the last three weeks I sat up and watched the film John Carter until 2am whilst Mrs G slept peacefully.
