At 4.30 am in the morning wakes me love my cell phone voice and I am at last. Finally, because I already longer just still half asleep and slumber rumstudiere in our train ticket. I say goodbye to our birthday girl Claudia and make me to the bus station, to make in the hope of Claudia with a train ticket a nice gift. Some people are already on. Quite a lot of sleep but on the ground before their huts. Think of the times before in Switzerland: whole families to sleep outside in front of her house on the edge of the road. Unimaginable. A first bus roars over before I arrive at the bus station. He was the 4:50 h-he, the first bus to Chennai ... A taxi driver wants to make me, no buses that go from here to Chennai, after I turned down his offer to drive me in a taxi from Chennai. They want to sell a really stupid and there probably always be some who fall for such fairy tales.
When Tchaikovsky Walla approved I first Tchaikovsky. There is nothing better to start a new day. The next bus ride around 5:30 am and had about 2 hours to reach Chennai. Manure, which is a bit short when I think I should be at Central Station at 8.00 am in Chennai and still have change because the bus station is just outside. Fortunately, however, does not this date. To five ten runs after only the next bus and as we move quickly so early in the morning, I can change At quarter to seven already at the bus station. Cool goes, hopefully it will with the ticket so easy, I think. At the Central Railway but it has been a huge snake. Probably a few hundred people, all of which Tatkal a ticket like! And for once I am glad I am a foreign tourist, as it has for the human species, an extra office. Only a few noses sit there and wait. Even before 8 clock is an official and sits down at his computer and begins its work. After a short time, he asks the room if anyone still need a Tatkal ticket and I will come before any other turn. As if there would be nothing easier, he booked five tickets for the second-AC class, which we intend to treat the heat and the long travel motion. The supplement is minimal and I think it almost did not when I think shortly after 8 clock our ticket in hand. My heart leaps for joy. Although I feel somewhat sorry for the many Indians, of which most probably in vain for a ticket queue, but they suffer so each also not with us, if we have to pay entrance fees ten times just because we are "foreign visitors". So I forget the compassion again and let me not spoil the joy. We are now definitely on Monday, 17/05/2010 17:35 h climb to the train and on Wednesday morning at 7.05 h (+ - a couple of minutes or hours) to arrive in Varanasi. This has worked wonderfully with the birthday gift. We are all huge.
In Switzerland it would be absurd, because of a Train "quickly" to be 6-7 hours on the road. In India, however, makes sense. "Incredible India!"

PS. The Candle Lighters on Claudia's birthday cake was because of the refreshing sea breeze a bit difficult. But the blow was very easy ...
