Darjeeling to Guwahati

We were on a mission for a Modhi jacket before we were due to leave our hotel at 9.30.
Before breakfast our walk led us to a smart green house just below the hotel.
We headed out for a walk after breakfast, heading towards town, then working our way up streets until we worried that we were lost or at least running late to get back. At one point we saw Liz and mike wanderig the other way. I think we did our previous morning walk with Alister in reverse as we got back past the horses to Chowastra at 9.10 and had a quick look down to the shops where we hoped to get our jacket. One was open and it was the right one. And our salesman assured us that we had the right colour and size so off we went with our precious 190 rupee parcel, back to the hotel in time.
the drive to Siliguri was interesting and we got to the airport in good time. Here we said goodbye to Rajesh our driver who lived close by.
Inside the airport we found the plane was delayed. After a while they provided lunch snacks and water which was nice. Eventually we flew off the Guwahati, were met by our new drivers and got to Prabakhar Homestay after dark. It was a smart home in a smart area.
An excellent Dinner was provided by a cook and served smorgasbord in a smart living room adjacent to our rooms, which were airconditioned. We met another nice Australian couple staying here.
