happy journey

From Matheran to Puna and than to Aurangabad. Aurangabad is a good base to visit Ellora and Ajanta, two world heritage sites with temple caves; so must see places :-). Very interesting, and because off the overdoses, boring at the same time :-). I enjoyed the local village market even more, but maybe I am just more interested in living culture :-). A bit too much Indian culture we experienced in our train trip from Aurangabad to Nasik. Rolina decided, remembering the good old days as a backpacker in India, to buy a second class train ticket in a non air-conditioned compartment. It is the cheapest way to travel by train, so we where not the only one. With the help from Sunil we reach our reserved place climbing over children and elderly people and bumping into adults, just standing, hanging, lying and sitting everywhere. The train was completely overcrowded; at least it would take only 4 hours to reach Nasik :-). It is a nice thought to travel on an equal base with the locals. But we decided that it is completely not in there interest. We can effort a more ‘expensive’ ticket and leave a very little bit more space to them. After a battle to get out of the train again at Nasik, I looked at the train ticket with the big bold text ‘HAPPY JOURNEY’ and throw it in the garbage bag. Rolina lost her backpackers nostalgia :-).
