It was nice to meet Dick for the early morning walk around the resort which was beside a broad river bed, a fancy mansion and a large anthurium nursery.
We drove to the Kachari ruins which were interesting.
Almost next door was a large market and we spent some time wandering among the food items.
We were at Dimapur airport in good time as Alister and the drivers were going back to Guwahati where he would take the train back to Siliguri for his next tour - again to West Sikkim.
Fortunately we got seats by the window in the departure lounge although there was little happening as planes were delayed. After a while they provided us with water and snacks and we eventually got on our plane a couple of hours late.
We were further delayed once we got to Kolkata airport as the luggage was very slow to emerge and came in separate times. Dick's bag, identical to mine, did not appear until about an hour later. Then we had to find our tour guide to take us to the hotel. We did not have time to go to lunch as planned, in fact, once we got to the hotel, we only had about an hour to shower and freshen up before we headed back to the airport where we managed to buy a snack before the plane boarded.
