train to Pathinkot

this was the narrow gauge one that takes 10 hours - i made it up by 6 which was a big shock - even had time to buy he paper and some snacks! and right, for a 10 hour journey through lovely valleys, and with the himalya's in view the whole time - cost - 27 ruppees!!!!, thats about 30p - unbelievable - topped off with a 10 ruppee double helping of pakora and that made for a cheap day indeed

stayed in Pacthinkot which was not what i expected, it was masive and full of mayhem in the street, with a few sleazey stores and the likes - i had a walk, and some food in the worst place ever - it was one of those where i walked into an empty cafe, then it filled up - and i was still served last - so close to walking out, but i was starving!

so after managing to not get knocked over by the bikes, cows, rick shaws etc - i opted for several more 'godfathers' and some prem footie which happened to be on! nice
