Phew, what a long flight. Three hours sleep on the first night at a sumptuous hotel at the new Bangkok airport; zero sleep last night after arriving after midnight. The old Janpath hotel where I have stayed in Bangalore since 1976 hasn't changed much, although prices have. My old friend the owner gave us a Rs70 discount this morning so it will cost us about $nz12 per night. A few smiles of recognition at the Anand Vihar, my favourite place to eat in India. Superb food - clean, fresh, hot. $nz1 for breakfast and coffee (price seems to have gone up but huge lunch meal is still the same - Rs35 (1 Aus dollar).
Today is the Mahasivaratri festival so will attempt to locate the saint Gopala Krishna nearby. I was taken there 4 years ago but couldnt find it now. Cathy is pretty tired but enoying it. Om Shanti.
