Sat on the train to Dhaka from Chittagong - just had one of those Rolf Harris breakfasts (Can you tell what it is yet?) Should be a 6 hour journey.....plenty of snacking time. Tomorrow we hope to pick up our tickets for the 'rocket', and possibly plan our trip to the worlds largest mangrove swamps, the 'sunderbans', which spans the india/bangla border in the Gangese delta.
Very much looking forward to employing Abdul Rahim the rickshaw driver. Room is booked at the Pacific Hotel, for the next two nights, so we will not be getting any toast. The weather is comfortable in December, sleeping under a fan at night, with a single sheet. The fan is usually strong enough to keep any mosquitos at bay, but we make sure by spraying the room before we go out for supper, the spray is marginally stronger than Agent Orange. During the day it can get hot, but its not humid, and our decision to come here now has been a good one. Trying to get around Dhaka in March/April would be a completely different kettle of fish. It can be a little ripe in parts of the city even now.
