Mount Abu

First of all, apparently my laptop has stopped charging. So that means that even if I find internet again these may not last as I am counting down about 2 and half hours of battery life.

The night spent on the train was not that great. I was jet lagged and did not get to sleep till later. We did not get into the station until 5AM (about an hour late). Trish brought a cold over from the US and passed it onto Bryan so they spent the night coughing. But mostly, there was a guy in our car that was snoring enough to wake the dead.

We got into the station met our driver and drove the 45 mins up the mountain to our hotel. We checked into our room and slept in till about 10 or 11.

We then showered using a bucket as the shower itself did not provide hot water.

We then set out and got some lunch and did some shopping. There are cows and monkeys roaming the streets.

The food is great, one of my new favorite snacks is roasted corn with spices rubbed onto it with a lemon.

That evening we got some ice cream and did some paddle-boating at the lake.

After that we went back to the room and watched some TV which includes many things you see in American TV. You got your televangelists, sports, movies, and music videos. However here most of it is not in English, the televangelists are not pushing Christianity, the sports are always cricket (Still trying to figure it out) or soccer (football), the movies are Bollywood (4 hours long and full of crazy dances), the music videos are also crazy but still on MTV and often contain snoop dogg.
