This day was interesting because we managed to pack in three different modes of transportation in one day. We started out early in the morning driving from Mysore to Bangalore. In Bangalore, we got on a plane to go to Mumbai. In Mumbai, we got a train to go to Jagaon.
For the most part, everything went pretty smoothly. The main excitement of the day was at the airport in Bangalore. Henny had bought a letter-opener and, not really thinking, put it in her carryon luggage. Apparently, that was too weapon-like, so they confiscated it, but Amy, wanting to make Henny happy, asked if she could try to get it in our checked luggage. This meant canceling Amy’s ticket, and Amy running back to the check-in counter to see if they could locate our luggage and put the letter-opener in.
Despite the well-intentioned effort—and the very late plane we had—the $1 letter-opener appears not to have made it to our luggage…. Oh well….
The train-ride was nice too. We took a third-class air-conditioned train-car and spent a lot of our afternoon and evening slowly working our way to Jalgaon.
Water buffalos outside our hotel….
When we got to Jalgaon, we had a very short walk to our hotel. Our hotel was pretty impressive…. The rooms were something like $10 to $15 per night, and they were pretty nice. Super clean. Really friendly and helpful people. Nicely decorated…. Everything we would need after a long day of traveling.
