lodge

called hotel from station to come pick me up and waited about 50 mins for them to do so whilst being told all sorts of stories from the touts lurking in the station lobby wanting to take me to their own preferred hotel - my hotel is too expensive, my hotel is too cheap, my hotel is full of heroin addicts... got there eventually and it turns out to be quite nice though rather basic (but I'm only paying Rs55/- per night for it so not a problem)

have been this morning down to see bodies being cremated (as pretty much everyone seems to do, although I did not see many other westerners there watching).

then more sleep - was rather restless on the night train here, so was good to lie under a fan in dorm and not have to worry quite as much about all my stuff being stolen...
