We managed to catch the train in time although there was some confusion regarding the platform of the train ! It was part ignorance on my end. Anyways, we boarded the train, and enjoyed some early Morning views. On one station, we also saw a couple of monkeys enjoying and one even fiddling with a mineral water bottle whose cap it was able to open with some skill. The Tea and Cookies served on the train was good but the breakfast was just ok. More to follow... Picture: Collage of two pictures taken from train

It always seems there is some confusion at the beginning of a journey. I'm glad everything got underway on time.

@DaddyEvil It was actually my fault. I should have looked at one of the announcement board and I misunderstood the Platform number from the ticket. Still, we managed to reach in time!
