Shimla & Rishikesh

I don't think I've mentioned that I'm in India for the break, but here I am.  We have a week (plus 2 weekends) so it's not long, but a while.  I got into Delhi Friday and left for Shimla Saturday on an overnight train.  It would have been all in the dark, which would have been highly unfortunate, but the train was delayed 5 hrs, so a good chunk of

Ugh. You have my sympathies. And yeah, I generally consider myself lucky in that it's just a loss of appetite for me.

Shimla, nice! Another place I haven't been to but would love to visit. The hill-station railway journeys are indeed amazing in India. The best one in the north is probably the one to Darjeeling and the best one in the south is the one to Ooty.

Hope you had a good trip!
