After after our strenuous trek another tag is relaxing in Pokhara, the journey continued to the Nepalese / Indian border. After a 9-hour bus ride with innumerable stops, changing tires and everything what belongs to, we arrived in Lumbini, the Buddha Geburtstaette - a place of spirituality.
the next day the journey continued to Agra. A 15-hour train ride should take us from Gorakhpur from there. In order to catch the connecting train and in time, we wisely reserved a taxi that took us out of Lumbini in the naechstgroeszere Indian city. 'Already' after 4 hours we reached the station, which appeared at first glance more like a mix of farm, rubbish dumps, public toilets, just a waiting hall.
We saszen now that, between cows and curious Indians, waiting for the train that would arrive at 13.30 clock.
But he did not come. He did not clock at 14.00 and not at 15.00 clock. And certainly he did not come at 16.00 clock. Erwin said that he on his last trip to India once had to wait 7 hours on the train. Only later we realized that we would beat even this experience ... Slowly it became dark and the eighth chai tea tasted no longer so good. The countless discussions with the curious locals (we were probably a little attraction for the province station) were slowly uninteresting. Time passed and impatient prevailed. How long we should probably wait? Around midnight, this question has been definitively answered then ... After 13h verliesz wait our train at 01.00 clock early at last the station. For the encore were from 15h-17h train ride and we arrived about 18.00 clock in Agra. Well, what can I say - 2 1 / 2 days of travel for about 900km ... I'll never complain more in Austria on delays of the ÖBB.
