THE GROUP HAS LANDED!
As you noted in the last posting I was anxious for company. Well guess what! The group arrived on time from the flights and were eager and ready to begin. Our drive in the morning from the airport was calm and quiet as we got to know each other a bit more. We stopped at the Hotel Goodnight that Marilyn had stayed in to pick her up and then off next door to The House of MG for breakfast and more conversation before heading to Arts Reverie so the group could unpack and freshen. Gaurav and I went off in search of bottles of water.
I discovered that the market place was within relatively close walking distance and so plan c was formed. BACK TO THE HOTEL Change of plans was approved and off we walked to discover the real shopping in India. We hardly scratched the surface when it was time to get ready for Gandhi’s ashram visit. After a chaotic trip in Sunday morning traffic nearby restaurant with a great meal and the calm of the ashram were appreciated.
Most of the comments on the trip were centred around Gaurav’s defensive driving skills- Indy racers know nothing. About 2 hours reading and resting in the shade- the temperature had risen to +30 by this time and the energy was being drained from the group so it was back to Arts Reverie and snoozes by most then another meal by ‘the boys’- rice, dhal ,salad, chapatti and a huge fruit bowl. Never to not experiencing the culture of India the meal became a vocabulary lesson and a pronunciation guide to simple fare. ‘ther boyts’ are great.
Much laughter at supper surround the day-the giddiness of the group showed but the laughter was a good release for all.
Many pleasant memories were started today.
