Arriving in India
Around midnight we arrived in New Dehli and we were taken to a small hotel close by the airport to rest a few hours before we were on our way to Bagdogra and then to Darjeeling. We had a very pleasant journey from Norway to India and Solveig and I were accompanied by Elisabeth and Knut Osland. When we are in good company time runs fast!
Early this morning we met with Zephry D�Souza, who is joining us on our journey the two first weeks of our time in India. It is always a great joy to be with Zephry as he is such a dear brother and close friend for many years!
At the airport of Bagdogra Henry and Jyoiti welcomed us. They had arranged for our transportation to Darjeeling and our stay in a nice hotel with a breath-taking view! In fact the whole journey from Bagdogra to Darjeeling is breath-taking. The scenery is just absolutely outstanding as the narrow road on the steep hillside is climbing higher and higher crossing many mountaintops on our way to our destination. The road is worth a long article in itself, many places it was almost washed away by rain and landslides. Other places you had the feeling that it could just disappear under you at any time! When we started this journey we heard of four people killed in an accident and on our way up we witnessed the rescue-work after a fatal accident where at least one person was killed and another one seriously injured. But we were never afraid because we know that we are in the hands of God and he is protecting us very well! We know that we have far more to do for the Lord and he will keep us safe and enable us to fulfil the commission he has given us. The safest place in the world is being in the will of God! I am so grateful to God for taking us to so many exciting places and giving us thrilling experiences as we walk with him. And I thank God for all the wonderful people he leads in our way.
