girl on a train

I suppose a key part of "an exotic land far far away" is the concept of FAR, but damn, 22 hrs, seriously??
We landed punch drunk not quite sure the day, or even right time... it was dark so I think it was night?... but again, with lands far far away, who can be sure?

We snagged a room to brush the airplane film off our teeth and baby powder the moist, sticky unmentionable parts and hit the road again.

Still a little dopey from travel, I thought the drapes in the room would make excellent play clothes for the children.


Trains on the sub continent are an interesting animal... a gift from the British colonial time, is the primary way people travel, and it ain't no Amtrak....
Seat assignments, Please!
Personal space, HA! I laugh at (and will invade) your personal space.
It is like asking "How many hairs does Riad have to lose, before he realizes going to a stylist is futile?"
I guess there is a theoretical number, but no one really knows.
Literally, they cannot sell out a train, just keep packing them in.



Breakfast was a bag of sliced mango with chili lime dressing... Mango makes everything better.

With all the chaos, a serene moment of tranquility... a little girl watching her beautiful country side from the comfort of a seat.


We are still debating which was worse, sitting for 22 hrs hours on a flight OR standing for 5 hrs on a train?
