arrived in varanasi at 4 45 AM this morning after taking a train that left Ghorakpur, India at 10 30 last night. Before this we spent 12 hours on what was supposed to be an 8 hour bus ride through nepal to the indian boarder. We BARELY made our train and had to pay extra for a taxi to take us 1.5 hours away to the train station because a bus would have taken too long
its been a long day (Mackenzie inserts that it is currently 9:30 am)
BUT, we're here, and have 36 hours to see Varanasi . . . . We've already seen the ganges river and are just heading out now for breakfast and to get ourself some money
nothing the bank could have done about my debit card, but i can take out money on my credit card so thats what i will be doing for now (bitches are charging me 3% of whatever i take out for foreign transaction fee, oh well)
off to Jaipur tomorrow . . . update soon!

Hey Ben,
ReplyDeleteYou're getting accustomed to very little sleep
on your trip from Nepal to India. Probably good practice for surviving the rigors of med school.
Have an interesting time in Nepal and take good care of each other.
