Ahhh the Indian Train Journey! I am genuinely excited that I can properly recount a few journeys in India now. I took a number, all in relative comfort I should say, in my twelve days in India.

The next instalment! The continuing stoooory of a pig who's gone to the dogs... 28th of March 2018 Developed a bit of a man flu. Actually it’s been pretty bad. Still I felt that I should press on because I was all the way out in Sri Lankan hill country and I should see something. …
23rd March 2018 So, the long journey into Delhi from Jodphur arrived on time. Delhi, my arch nemesis, a place that had knocked me over more than once. And here I was again. I arrived at Sarai Rohilla, not the main and usual station in Delhi, and had to negotiate an auto-rickshaw to the Paraganj, …
