My First Train Reservation!!!!!
I've just booked an overnight train from Mumbai (my point of arrival, you'll remember) to Margao, a small city in southern Goa.
Sleeper Class, exactly as you see in the photo. You have an option of a 6-berth compartment or a 2-tier aisle berth. I picked the top bunk on an aisle berth. No idea whether that's what I'm actually getting (can't decipher the seat assignment, unfortunately), but this is pretty much as good as it gets. In place of that big metal trunk, picture yours truly.
From Margao I'll move on to one of the beach towns in South Goa. Right now I'm thinking Agonda, but I'm concerned that what my Rough Guide calls a sleepy fishing village with a pristine beach will actually be more like the Jersey Shore. I won't be making any hotel reservations or anything, so I might see what the word on the street is and go with Patnem, another supposedly sleepy beach village, or just screw the "sleepy" aspect and head to Palolem. All of which are within about 20 miles of Margao by motorbike taxi (!!!!!) or local bus.
