As I wasn't going to Calcutta anymore, the most adequate route to follow down to Goa was heading to Agra first and then break through Rajasthan. While Charlotte as heading back to Mc Leod for her classes, Dan and Charlotte were planning to go to Rajasthan first. So on that basis we headed to the train station in order to book our tickets.
I was decided to go to Agra, and so my plan was to get a night train on that direction. Getting a night train would let me time to seek a cheap place to stay, see the city, and watch the sunset at the Taj Mahal. Dan and Charlotte reasoned on their own on where would their next stop be, getting to the conclusion that it seemed more practical to go to Agra first and then Rajasthan, and so, accompany me there.
To our surprise, there was no direct train to Agra until a couple of days, and the only possibility was to get to Delhi and try luck there. The available train to Delhi was early in the morning, which meant second day of waking up when the sun hadn't raised yet.
Once in Delhi, after a very uncomfortable and boring ride, we went straight to book the train to our desired destination. When doing so, Dan and Charlotte where decided to book a train to Jaipur for the next day from Agra, and asked me if I wanted to join them. They were planning to hire a jeep to travel around Rajasthan, and having me around would make it cheaper, and they would only have to look for one or two more people to go with us. I agreed, and that is really how our travels together started.
