@Natanson 16 June 2021 more from that month

We arrived at the Victoria Terminus railway station after midnight. It was 6 hours before the train to Goa, and we began to look for a corner where we could stay. But no! All the seats in the waiting room were occupied. Even on the floor, the Indians made a real fur seal rookery😊, they slept peacefully on the floor on their covers. They also slept on the street, but at least the ground was warm. As a result, we were placed in the hall where the ticket office is located. Soon our Siberian company of 5 people increased to 8 and became international😊. Two Indian students and an elderly hippie from Holland have joined us. Periodically, some of us, struggling with sleep, went for a walk, the remaining ones were waiting for things. Then we changed. We visited the place where the trains spent the night and several times met with rats that were too fast to have time to capture them completely😳. And, in the end, after a busy journey that began a day ago, part of our company fell asleep right on the floor😊
