Our flight to Delhi was scheduled at 7:30 am and we had arrived at the airport quite in time. However as we were to enter, we were told that the flight time was changed quite some time back and the revised schedule was 1330 hours. Oh no! That wasn’t done! We enquired at the Air India authorities and they gave us the standard “Your phone wasn’t reachable” answer as the reason for not informing us. We had no option but to wait till then. Fortunately our situation wasn’t as bad as another family who had booked a flight to Delhi and to their surprise the flight did not exist. At least our flight was late and it would take us back. But for them, they had no choice but to drive up to Delhi. Wondering what they would have done after getting out of the airport, we whiled away our time. We also took a hearty meal break by sneaking out. Finally at 1:30 pm we were on board and took off.
We reached Mumbai where Sankool and Akshay were waiting to receive us. We went to Sahara Star hotel nearby and spend a while discussing about the adventures we had before we took a cab to return to our home sweet home in Pune.
We rode a total of 2200 km. The ride to the princely state was truly incredible leaving us with memories to cherish for the lifetime!
