I’m tired from walking around in the hot sun all day. I booked a boat for tomorrow morning for a sunrise river trip. It should be good. It’s one of those things that all the tourists do when they come to Varanasi. I am looking forward to it, but I’m supposed to be at the place by 5:20 am. I figure I’ll get up, go and then come back to my room and sleep some more. Check out of the hotel is at noon which will give me some time to relax and nap. I think my train to Delhi leaves around 7 pm. I hope to get to the station early to try and cancel the tickets to Haridwar I have. I suppose I could still go, but I just don’t have the motivation or interest anymore.

I’m still not sure what I’ll do after getting to Delhi. I’ve been looking at hotels and trying to decide. It really shouldn’t be this hard. The problem is, I don’t really feel like spending a lot on a hotel room for 6 nights in Delhi. I keep looking at more expensive hotels hoping something will pop up or that I’ll find a great deal on something. The one my friend recommended would cost $450 for 6 days. I don’t want to spend that much, even if it’s great. The cheaper options are all located in an area I really don’t want to stay in. It’s filled with backpackers, touts and gross hotel rooms. I’d love to have a room where I can hang out and not have to leave that much. I guess I’ll think about it and hope that something pops up. I could also see if I can get a train to Udaipur and stay there again. I liked it there and the place where I stayed was nice and a great value for the money. I could hang out there for a few days easily. Something will pop up. I’m glad I’m going back to Delhi tomorrow and one step closer to home.

I’m also feeling sick. I have a runny nose and have been sneezing. I had a sore throat earlier, but after taking some pain relievers that’s gone now. I don’t want to be sick. I hope to feel better tomorrow. I suppose this is probably better than food poisoning which I’ve somehow managed to avoid. I’ve eaten some sketchy things here and in Nepal.

A much nicer day than I expected to have
What could be my final train ride tomorrow!
