So, I started an email from the hotel room and somehow deleted the draft this morning. I cannot find it in SENT, or in TRASH, and it certainly isn't in the INBOX. Where the hell is the damned thing. Sheesh. I blame the new version of iOS for iPhones. And no, it isn't in ARCHIVED.
I shook my iPhone vigorously, and the only thing that came back was my ganglion. So...from the start...
We left here by cab on Thursday morning around 5 am and got onto the train platform. We noticed that there was a series of lit-up signs above the platform denoting where to stand for Car 1, Car 2 etc. up to Car 12 and with some help discovered that our ticket, in fine print, said we were on Car 5 so we waited there. We also had a seat number.
Once on, we were almost immediately brought a bottle of water and the newspaper, then a box of mango juice, then a tea service with cookies, and when that was cleared away, they brought breakfast - with more tea. We had ordered non-veg so had an omelet and toast (?). Under the omelet were three peas and two moist French fries. I kid you not!
This was NOT first class but just normal Chair Car status with A/C. On this train, the Shitabdi, this seat used to be called 2nd Class A/C but now there is only CC and Executive Class.
Our tray had a small placemat on which each meal's menu was listed, and the catering company - "Meals o n Wheels". I can't help being delighted by it all, and it helps to pass the time, too!
