okay it's currently 4 25 in the morning [Music]
I'm not a morning person but we ever trained to catch
so we're currently in Mumbai and our train is to Ahmedabad so it leaves at six o'clock and it
goes for about six hours but I'm going to tell you a little bit more about the train along the
way let's get there first thank you thank you thank you so much I can't see anything so it's
so foggy I can't see out of my glasses [ __ ] up hi good how are you that's good oh you did
do you want to be in one okay not only my glasses but my camera has fogged up too so heat in India
am I right the train is so long I feel like we've been walking next to it to find our entrance point
for so long and it just keeps going and going this one's known as the wonder brat Express
and it goes up to 180 kilometers an hour which is insane making it a semi bullet train so this train
is pretty new I think it's very new actually so I'm really excited to see what the amenities are
like and what the ride is actually like itself all the way to a mediban so it goes for about
six hours like I said so I'm going to give you some information about pricing and everything
like that as we go but let me show you what the seats okay so this is the executive seat class
on the train so the whole train is air conditioned which is really good because it's hot outside but
these are our seats so this one has a true true formation so there's a bit more space here than
in the other like uh other class seat I'm not sure it's the one that's not executive there's
a three formation and then a two formation so you get a lot less space there you've got an arm
so you have a little table on the side too so later when I need to edit this video I
can kind of pull that out it's a bit smaller than my laptop so it's going to be a little
bit finicky but you've got a lot of space to just to eat and leave your drinks and stuff like that
it does recline so I want to see how far it reclines button oh okay so the back goes back
pretty far can you pull it close to you yeah okay so there's nowhere to put your feet that's
yeah honestly a little bit awkward we've been on trains All Buses where there's a little leg
slap and you can put your legs there so it's kind of like a recliner um so that's a bit weird but
see it's comfy at least they actually do have a PowerPoint there's one each it's an international
PowerPoint and you get a USB Point as well so there's charging as you go so you also have a
little water bottle holder or a bottle holder it doesn't fit a massive waterfall though so there
is a spot up here to put your bags you can about one bag each in your like sort of allocated spot
above your seat so even in the other class that's not this executive class there is still a lot of
room in the seats themselves I don't think it reclines as far or if it does it's similar but
there's less room for your feet and also next to you as you're sitting next to two other people
rather than having two seats in one side there's only three seats and honestly it kind of looks
better than some of the lower class seats that we've had in other countries it looks really
good even if you don't get the executive class seat ticket okay so people are starting to Pile
in now so I'm going to give everyone a chance to settle in and we can go through pricing and
everything like that so stay tuned and watch us get to them at about it oh also let me know in
the comments below if you've ever traveled train in India because honestly so far it seems a lot
easier and less stressful than flying this might be my new way to get around India so they are just
preparing all the food for the trip here so it's about quarter to six and the train departs at six
so we're just about to start leaving which is exciting we've got a six hour journey ahead of
us everyone wants you from India better than any Australian train I've ever been on by 10 times and
then better than any train I've had in Europe but that was 10 years ago so life might have changed
since then but this is awesome this is really good so I don't actually remember the Indonesian train
that well but we did a video on it so I'm gonna leave it in the description bar below I don't
remember it fully Indonesia recently in the last like sort of five years have rebuild their whole
transport Network on Java on brand new trains so it is a pretty big deal and comparing Indonesia
and India for the trains even though the countries are vastly different it's actually pretty spot on
because they're the same age of the trains so he's just come around and give everyone a free bottle
of water which fits in the water holder which the true lady one did all right we have departed this
is I'm excited to see what the landscape looks like yeah that's the best part about catching a
train yeah all right so we've just swiveled this chair around to face the outside so um you can
do that although if there was someone behind you it's a bit awkward because would that be
right here and you would sort of be face to face um but if there's no one around you like there
is right now you could probably do the train and have a look out the window right in front of you
[Music]
okay so they brought us some ginger tea instant ginger tea and then also
some digestive oat biscuits as well so I've just mixed up my ginger tea I don't think
I'm gonna like it I don't like sugar tea but it's free well included that is not for me
so we've been given cereal as well kind of one after the other it was Corn Flakes and the
milk was warm but it is what it is now we've been given our meals that we picked beforehand there's
an option between veg and non-veg and that's it so we've got one each just to see what the difference
is in what you're served okay so I have the veg option um and Michael has them non-veg nothing
has names on it so I'm not exactly sure but I've got this sponge cake type thing I'm not sure what
it is but it doesn't taste very good and then you've got a little coconut or something Patty
with no meat obviously dipping sauce or Chutney or something like that and then I got a little
bit of this bread too so both of us have the same tub of skim milk garlic coconut water choco pie
with Rich marshmallow and I think this is the one I'm most excited for and then on Michael's plate
he has a little omelette I'm not sure what's in it it's non-veg so it obviously would have some kind
of meat you've got a skim Dal he got his bread and he's got the same sort of spongy yellow cake
that I have so that's it for lunch breakfast I don't know the meal the meal I am today
[Music]
okay so it's around 9 30 now so we've been on for about three and a half hours I thought I'd check
out the bathrooms and let you know what it's like this reception is going in and out sometimes I get
from us sometimes I get nothing but this is really funny because this one says Indian style toilet
and this one says western style toilet so are they both free okay so this is the Indian style one
there's not much going on except for the toilet and honestly it smells good in here so let's go
to the Western safe and totally different this bathroom is honestly massive I was gonna say that
it feels like an airport toilet but honestly it feels bigger it feels more spacious I have more
room to move look I can't hold it my entire arm in here which is pretty crazy and I can do it this
way and still have room this way so I basically could hold my hands out either side and have space
so it's a big bathroom I'm actually I'm actually super impressed you have a basement here a pretty
big Basin there's a window I can hear exactly what's going on outside so the train is Bumpy
right now so sorry about my moving um b-roll but you've got soap and you've got our hair dryer here
as well so I'm very impressed with this bathroom the Western toilet specialty there's hardly any
about and it's really big like it's really big like it's better than an airport so I like
playing toilet fire like a walk so you have the toilet and then you also have the bum gun
and of course Button as well it's about 9 30 and I think we get there at about 11 or 12 I'm not sure
the trip itself so far has been really Pleasant um the food wasn't my favorite but we got a lot
of it I was actually pretty very surprised and impressed as to how much food we actually got in
my Indonesia video on the train um this uh inside Carriage was actually open on the sides this one's
completely sealed and aircon so I can't like hang out the window and show you what it's like out
there but there's heaps of things passing by and then stopping through cities at different stops
throughout the journey so yeah it's been really cool okay so we probably have just over an hour to
go but the ride has been very seamless it's kind of Gone by really fast and I will say especially
I've just talked to some of the um service men in the galley there and they are so lovely so
the service is really really good as well so this executive seat was 4500 rupees which is
about 81 Australian dollars I think about 50 to 60 us so yeah to go in between cities and stuff
to not have to go to an airport it is a longer duration of of travel it's six hours as opposed
to maybe an hour on the plane but it's comfortable and you see so much of the countryside I like it I
like try and travel in India this train is very impressive very impressive very impressed with
this train it's time to head off the train during the time let's go it's 11 39. we got on at six
we made it all right so we are off the train here in America that's the train there in all
of its Glory I can tell lots of Indians are very proud of the infrastructure of the train
and I had a good time so it just arrived but it is hot out here it is our first time in Gujarat
as well so a different state for us today too there's a lot of people around foreign
first impression is that it is scolding hot today it's about 43 degrees and the Sun is
burning at my face already and we haven't been out for long so if you come for the
train that's it we're off the train now but if you're here for a metabad we're gonna quickly
see Gandhi Gandhi's I hit volume Guardian Gandhi's house and then we're also going
to get a famous cocoa cold cocoa here as well and I might have bad I'm mad about it hello
all right so we're off to Rickshaw and we're here at Mahatma Gandhi's house and he lived here for 12
years um but I didn't expect this I thought it would be like a singular house but it's like a
full compound so walking around here there's a lot of information on the walls which is good because
I don't know enough about Gandhi I think that I should um but Michael is very interested it's
where kind of Michael wanted to come so here's a room with all really cool paintings and they
look realistic they're really well done so just kind of making our way through um at this stage
and most of this just looks like a massive Museum but I want to see the house so that's kind of what
I want to see the most so this uh well Mahatma Gandhi in general obviously doesn't need much of
an introduction unless you're me I think I'm the expect I think I'm the exception to the rule here
but this is the grounds in which everything that he was doing and everything he was leading people
and leading everything towards kind of started which is pretty crazy which obviously ended up
leading to the movement and Independence of India so this is the house he lived in from 1918 to 1930
and heaps of like big massive world leaders would come and meet with him here and it was when he
was living here which is when he got the name Mahatma Gandhi um his name or Gandhi his name
was mohandis Gandhi so that's pretty interesting and he vowed not to leave unless India became free
or or something along those lines so yeah this is a pretty this is the place that's right will you
take one photo with us in your camera yeah I would love to so I actually thought that this would cost
um money but it is free to come and enter and have a look around which I think is what Gandhi
himself would have wanted all right we are on another Rickshaw to get some cold cocoa which is
the thing to have here in medabad in a metabag so I'm excited I love cold chocolate drinks chocolate
milkshakes ice Milo in Thailand I'm excited here it is hi um Paul Coco how much is that
how much cold cocoa gold Google cold Coco how much kidnap rippies can I have one one yes yes yes yes

have Thailand and I have Indonesia so if you're interested in how travel works on trains in other
parts of the world go watch one of them after this one and I'll see you on the next one bye
