My time came to leave the mountains and to head back to flatter lands. Just escaping the rains and literally living in the clouds means that I needed to head to Varanasi where it will be boiling hot.
Now came the real adventure test - my first solo train travel and luckily my wait listed unconfirmed ticket was confirmed at the last minute and I had a second class ac sleeper - fantastic as it turned into an eighteen hour journey!!! I stated talking to a couple just before boarding and ended up in the bunk above the wife. Whilst watching the Indian landscape change through our window, we chatted all day and it was a brilliant opportunity to learn, discuss and share so much and what could have been a long lonely journey was completely changed. Travelling is not just about what you see, but even more memorable often is infact who you meet along the way.
