Ended up absolutely filthy as there were very few windows in the bus, and we created clouds of dust driving along the tracks. Saw various wildlife including buffalo, bison, lemurs, wild boar, various deer, wild fowl, peacocks, and an ...

Found out that each and every fruit tree had been planted by him, along with many other fruit, veg + flowering plants. Saw plants of so many varieties that I was not familiar with - custard apple, tamarind, jack fruit, pomello, to name but a few. He also had a large area full of flowering 'bird of paradise' plants, which he sold at market. Along with several cottages ...

... the physical exertion and because of the heat, they seemed happy with their 'wages' from us, and duly spent some of it in buying a bag of cold water from a nearby stall, before recharging their batteries before their next customers. Noticing our names, ages and whether M/F posted outside the carriage, we found our seats and once safely installed in the carriage, our train soon departed for its 7 hour trip.

Must add here that I am not as frequent with railway stations in this city as I am with airports which are a necessary evil of being part of a regional sales team and hence the crowd seemed to be a bit overbearing both physically as well as mentally.
