Today is our last day in Varanasi, we leave this evening for our first over night train ride to Agra, ahhh ! Hopefully we make it alive and with out getting our stuff stolen.
We managed to catch the sun quite a bit yesterday I'm guessing from our long walk. We spent most of the day on the roof top of our restaurant as we had to check out early and couldn't travel to far from our hotel. Sambo didn't seem to be working but another chatty waiter was. He had decided to nick name us Chocolate and Honey as we had ordered one chocolate and one honey pancake the night before. "Good morning Chocolate and Honey" he said cheerfully. After not believing we were sisters, then asking when our birthdays were and looking at our Zodiac signs (I had the same one as him which made him happy). He came out with "What's my name?....I don't know my name" me and Giselle looked at each other, I nearly asked him what he liked on his pancakes as this seemed to be how me and Gis got ours, but before I could he came out with "You can call me Black" me and Giselle unsure of what to do again looked at each other. He laughed out loud patted us both on the back and continued "because I'm black, hahaha"...(This reminded me a lot of Ishaw and his white trouser bad, white people good statement.)
Black seemed to find him self reasonably hilarious. I'm nearly certain if i called a black person Black in England I'd get punched, or at least called racist.
We found Sambo downstairs watching the cricket, we said our goodbyes and headed on our way. I think we upset our hotel because we refused to take there rickshaw as we new they were over charging us and we could get one cheaper. Later we found out they forgot to charge us for some of the food we had. Sorry guys we didn't intentionally rip you off.
On the train most of our carriage was full of tourists, we were sharing our section with two Turkish ladies and two Swedish girls.
Bye Varanasi till next time.
