Train back to Delhi from Ajmer Junction

Back onto the Shatabdi express up to Delhi. It was late leaving which was unusual as the Indian railways pride themselves on being punctual. Our carriage of 52 seats on leaving Ajmer had only 8 occupants but when we got to Jaipur (2 hrs up the line) it was jam packed, being the Friday night late train back to Delhi. The waiters surpassed themselves firstly with a tray of tea (you have a thermos with enough for two gorgeous cups), including spicy vegetarian sausage roll with ketchup, crispy fried lentils and a little portion of sugary coconut and almond flakes that don't half give you toothache. 

The main meal was three types of curry, two chappatis, sachet of devilish pickle, fragrant rice and a pot of yoghurt curd to cool down the spiciness. The little portion of vegetables were soft and gently spiced,  the top left hand curry was paneer cheese with onions (wowser hot) and the lentil daal to the right of that was just scrummy. I daren't eat the pickle as I wished to leave my taste buds intact. 

And yes, Bernard got his butterscotch ice cream.
