London-Bombay
Namaste Bombay! It’s Truly Great to Be Back Home Again!
It was just past 11.00 am when we arrived in Bombay to a day of bright and glorious sunshine. Of course, there always has to be some kind of glitch when you are flying halfway around the globe. At Bombay Airport, we were met by airline personnel who informed us that two of our bags had been left behind at Heathrow Airport and would be arriving in Bombay tomorrow morning. They would be delivered directly to our apartment in Bandra. This was something of a relief to us as we could safely take just one cab from the airport to our home. With all the baggage we had in total, had we all our baggage to take home, we might have had to take two cabs.
We made our way to the Pre-Paid Taxi counter at Bombay airport, gave our address, made payment and were led to a driver who then loaded our baggage for us and whisked us off to our home. We did not hit much traffic and were home by about 1.00 pm by which point, we were both ready to crash.
Sadly, our apartment was filled with dust (despite all the windows being closed) after six weeks and I had a sneezing fit (dust allergy) as soon as I entered the place. We opened up all the doors and windows and immediately changed our bed linen and went to sleep. We would spend the next week slowly cleaning each room and bringing our home back to snuff.
So there you have it. A really amazing five weeks crammed with the most memorable travel experiences in North America (the USA and Canada), bookended by two gorgeous weddings, filled with heartwarming encounters with relatives and close friends, punctuated everywhere by the sampling of the most delicious food and drink and sightseeing that left us breathless, came to a glorious close.
To all those of you who have followed me on this trip, through this blog, I thank you from the bottom of my heart, for being such faithful and loyal readers of it and for making me feel as if I have an audience and am not just pouring my words out uselessly into the wild blue yonder. Until the next trip and my next set of travels, I wish you Au Revoir and hope you will have many wonderful journeys yourself. Bye for now…
