OFF TO AGRA

T

My train to AGRA had been booked for 7am this morning so I rose at 5:30 packed the few things I was taking for the night in AGRA and took the tuc tuc,as arranged.

Arrived around 5:55 at Jaipur station and this was what it looked like.

Nothing stops here.

As mentioned before,it's like this continuous lava flow which you simply have to join, or be engulfed.

Had a cup of chai at the station (R1) and soon found my train and boarded.

They'd booked me on the most expensive one as the others had been full,but it was still a mere 550 rupees (R130) in this air conditioned coach class (virtually empty) coach.

And apparently it takes just 3,5 hours (250km) and one is served a breakfast en route.

Let's see 😜

Hey man this is like the " business class" of train travel .

They've just brought me some breakfast And an English newspaper!👍

Very $&&@ing posh!

And check out the "kaartjie"!
