Horrible night!… Maybe it was better topay twice more and to travel in the highest. a/c class? I do not like a/c… Most of the time I travel alone in my bare compartment. The policemen – alwas on the train – visited me from time to time. On the station platforms nothing to buy – it is Ramadan so trere is no reason to sell food or fruits – nobody will buy them anyway. They do not know that there is the lonely hungry tourist on the train!… Change in the landscape: deserted mountains. Still 6 hours to the destination, Tunnels, stops in the middle of nowhere. Quetta! Tents of the nomads on the outskirts of the town. Station… 5 pm… I will take you to the hotel for 50 Rp! No thank you! – it is not so hot now so I’ll put my dirty pack on my back and walk to the Fabs’s Hotel – it is only 1 km!
Dirty, sweaty, covered by havy dust I landed in the hotel. Room with a bath, please! 250 Rp… Bugs on the walls but the only thing I think about is the shower. Wow! The great rail journey is over…
