Early car ride from the hotel in Delhi to the train station. Our group had been kidding us about the train ride in that the trains we had seen to date were pretty clunky and draped with people. Well…..this one was a little bit better, but a huge disappointment from what we were expecting. After staying at some 4 star hotels, this train was a 1 star at the most. But, what can you do about it. So, 6 hours of dozing and reading. The view outside was disappointing as well. First, extremely smoggy and the trash piled up everywhere was daunting. Not a pretty sight.
Crazy/busy train station
Typical sight out the window for 6 hours
This is why you go to the bathroom before you get on a train. You can see where you are supposed to squat, and that bright spot in the middle are the train tracks! (common courtesy is to not use the bathroom when at a station.
Busy at the destination as well.
After we settled in to a very nice Holiday Inn, actually the nicest Holiday Inn I have ever seen. We walked around our neighborhood a bit. Not much going on until the evening at the Golden Temple tonight at 8pm.
Great picture. The one guys is ironing clothes with a coal(?) heated iron, with the guy behind him sewing. Never seen this before……
