Rats...

We've had a few run ins with rats....on the train from Varanasi we had 20 hours to endure rats on the train! It wouldn't have been so bad except that there were also insects on the beds and we think we got bitten by some kind of bed bugs in the blankets...

It was such a depressing journey that our next long distance trip is going to be by plane tomorrow, but that is likely to be equally as disasterous as we are flying Air Deccan - recently an Indian news channel ran a story about them offering terrible service so they are in the news....but it was 30 pounds each for the tickets!
