Ventured out of my hotel around 10 am with the goal of buying a train ticket to Varanasi tomorrow. The good news is I got the ticket, and it was not a hassle doing so. Unfortunately it took me over an hour to find the office due to the poor map in Rough Guide. Yeah, I thought I should have gone with Lonely Planet's guide, but cheap me had to save a few bucks and get the RG instead. So it goes..
It honestly wouldn't have been so bad had the temp not been over 90 degrees (high today around 35 celcius) and very sunny. Walking around in that weather ain't exactly heaven. Throw in the fact that my sinuses are acting like I'm being attacked by the other of all colds/flus/whatever, and you've got yourself one hell of a time. When I returned to my hotel, I drank about two liters of water and took an hour long nap.
Yeah, pretty dull times here, I know. I'm hoping getting out of Kolkata will help my health, but Varanasi is most likely even hotter and even more dusty. Yay. After that, my ass is heading for the mountains- enough of this flat land stuff.
