THURSDAY: Agra to Jaipur
Evan: We had to wait 5 hours in the train station because the train got delayed 2 hours, and then it got delayed more, and they kept delaying it more and more hours. Then it took 6 hours to get to Jaipur. It took the whole day, except for dinner. I didn’t have any lunch or breakfast that day! I ate candy and cookies instead, and a peanut-butter sandwich. The train was a sleeping train. It had a bench and then a fold-out bed on top, with a curtain. It had a little ladder.
Andrew: We were going to take the train to Jaipur and see the Hawa Mahal and go shopping. But our train got delayed for 2 hours. It was interesting to look at all the activity in the agra train station. Then our train got delayed another hour and a half. I got bored. I had seen the same thing over and over again. There were flies and mosquitoes. There was a cow-dung smell. Just when I was feeling completely down in the dumps, a whole family of monkeys came bounding down the train tracks, hanging on to everything. I saw a monkey holding on to a wire. Ahead of it was another wire connected to a candy shop. It slid down the wire and stole a piece of candy. I also saw a monkey eating a banana (and tons of other garbage). Our train got delayed another half hour. Then it got delayed another hour. Once we got on the train it was fine. Looking out the window was interesting. When we finally got to Jaipur, there was no time to anything but go to the hotel and have dinner.
