The Pilgrimage

After flying to Delhi from Hyderabad on Thursday afternoon, Woodson and I boarded an overnight train to Varanasi - one of the holiest cities in the world and our destination for the weekend. I had ridden the trains a few times before, but this was Woodson's first experience. To help us enjoy the train the most, the two of us "took down" a bottle of Royal Stag - at $6 per bottle, one of India's finest whiskies.

Royal Stag

To date, it has been my best experience on the trains - regardless of the fact that it took four hours longer than expected, amounting to 16.5 hours in total. More on the trains in India later. Much more.
