The train to Varanasi had come from the west of Lucknow and was travelling on for a further 24 hours to Kolkata. You have to admire Indian travellers: we sat next to a family with young children who had to be washed, fed, entertained for days on a few bunk beds. Actually, I think the work gets left to the mothers! I would love to see the stats for these train journeys; how many meals are served, how much tea and coffee is ordered, how many chefs, how many waiters. How do they know to bring new sheets for us? There must have been an equal number of people living in Varanasi station as were on that train...

Cows have an especially good life in Varanasi. They loved our banana skins.
