Farted around in Mangalore in fancy hotels (air con!) and in an internet cafe (where the power went - see a few entries back). Not much in Mangalore - hot and dusty and the usual unfinished indian roads with piles of rubble and sand in random places. Its like they start but dont finish. Got the next train we could get to Go Karna. this was our first train journey since the 1sr class a/c sleeper the pprevious week. Now we were going 2nd class unreserved (thats the way to go on 'short' 5.5 hr journeys0. People were jumping on while the train was still coming in. I had a feeling it was going to be a bit squashy. It took us a while to settle but we eventually got sitting with these young indians on their to Saudi Arabia for work. nice guys - Paula eneded up playing cards with the ( It think it took them by suprise a girl was playing). Got off at Go Karna road station
