Delhi

On the final day of our journey we relax in the morning and then pack up and depart for Delhi by bus.  As we are use to now, the bus ride takes much longer than they scheduled.  It takes six and a half hours to travel 207 kilometers.  There are many weddings happening along the way.  It is obviously a very auspicious day. 

In Delhi we go to the private home of Gorev and Suhasini Jain, Gorev's parents, brother and sister-in-law.  They are the owners of Incentive Destinations.  Denell (the owner of Civilized Adventures) has been friends of the family for quite some time.  They have a beautiful, modern, multi-storey home with individual apartments for each family plus a communal area.  They employ seventeen staff to look after the household.  We have drinks on the roof top terrace on the fourth floor overlooking the city.  Then we retire to the dining room for a very delicious meal.  The house has beautiful art and furnishings.  They are very gracious and welcoming hosts and it is special to have had the opportunity to be with their family. 

Some of the art on display in their home.






We leave late that evening, actually in the wee hours of the morning of the next day, for the airport and start our journey home.  We are already contemplating that this trip has only just whetted the appetite for seeking other adventures in India ... we shall see what the future brings.    Namaste.
