Traveling to India~Just Getting Here is a Task

We left home Wednesday at noon and got to Anand, India by Friday morning (their time), so that would be Thursday evening our time. Basically about 33 hours of travelling/waiting and whatnot to get here. Not much to say about the plane rides, they are what they are, but one piece of advice.....if ever flying Air France and they offer French or Indian cuisine, go for the Indian, because the French was gross. Very disappointing since I thought it was probably going to be my last good meal. Lucky for me the Domino's here in India is pretty decent, so when all else fails, we can turn to that. Our taxi took us from the last airport to our hotel, Rama Residency. A bit of a scary ride, but we made it. Let's just say, we will never rent a car in India. We will always leave the driving to someone with experience. It is nuts on the roads around here. No traffic laws, well maybe there are, but they don't go by them. The only thing that they use is the horn and it is used for every signal. The horn means you could be turning or you could be going through an intersection or you might run someone over. The horn means everything, which to me seems like it loses its purpose and really is just a noise maker.




The Mahi Bridge, built across the great river Mahi, is a major bridge connecting Dangarpur and Banswara districts in South Rajasthan.
