• Agra to Guwahati

    14 ottobre 2022, India ⋅ ☀️ 30 °C

    Today, we cross a large part of India from Agra via Delhi to Guwahati. Guwahati is the capital of Assam, famous for its tea, and its Buddhist temple from the 3rd century BC.I am not sure we see much there because this is just a stopover on our way to Nagaland
    Since the train starts at 10 am we have time for breakfast. Indian breakfast takes a bit of getting used to, but today, I have no qualms about enjoying my baked beans, curry, and rice, accompanied by papaya with mango juice and tea. A totally weird mix but rather tasty, and as in most Indian hotels its included in the price, (Here a room costs $36 for three people, for comparison in Kenya, breakfast alone would be $10-20 each).
    The train journey is uneventful, probably our last in India. In the second class, air conditioned our seats are large enough that 4 comfortably seats all sic of us and store our baggage. That is because most Indian trains have berths, where you can sleep, rather than seats. Just as well because the computer allocated us a mad selection of seats. So despite that we can all sit together.
