Arriving India
Yesterday we arrived at Ahmedabad early in the morning after a long and tiring journey. In Mumbai we were told at the international terminal that there was no sense in going to the domestic terminal because they would not let us in. The best thing for us to do was to go to a hotel to rest a few hours before we proceeded to the domestic terminal! We were told that the first bus would go by 04.00 only so we had to wait outside the international terminal for two hours. It turned out to be untrue! We found the bus leaving shortly (at a different place though than first told) after we were out. When we arrived at the domestic terminal we had no difficulties in getting in or even check in our luggage three hours before departing! The people trying to get us to a hotel told a lot of lies but happily we did not listen to them.
At the airport in Ahmedabad our dear friend Sunil was waiting for us. He and Prabhudas has come to take us to our hotel to have a good rest before we met more people. That is why I am here � to meet people! I love the people of India, they are the most wonderful people in the world!
