@0745 came the breakfast from the pantry. Two pieces of bread and an omelette. Existence of butter can only be ascertained after a forensic analysis.

---

Was stationery for almost an hour at an under construction station with no net connection.

---

Cost dont know yet as the pantey boy said will take money at the end of journey. Here is a pic after avoiding the co-passengers. Will post more later.

---

Satisfied? Certainly not. One needs to order at leasr two servings. I did not as I had my chicken sandwiches. :)

---

Stuck at the outer of Alipurduar Junction.

---

Yes lunch was given before entering Alipurduar. Had ordered egg curry. Nothing to write home about. The egg curry had no seasoning. The matar paneer is avoidable. Egg curry costs Rs.95. Thw omelette breakfast was Rs. 40.

---

Stuck at the Jalpaiguri outer. Right from Alipurduar till Madarihaat saw beautiful forests of Buxa and Jaldapara.

---

Now let me quickly log in some train sighting since there is good net. At Alipurduar a WDP4 SGUJ 20070 pulled in a passenger train on the adjacent pf. At rajabhatkhawa crossed a boxn rake pulled in by a WDG4 SGUJ 12246 and right after that crossed Kanchenjangha Express at 1312.

Holed up just near the river after which we ahould reach ALD. NDLS PURI Exp crossed us towards Pur @ 0750i. Why the heck is this train Raj liveried?
