So after a wonderful night and a lovely dinner, we settled in for our last sleep (for now) aboard Katrine. The last morning was spent collecting the last of our belongings, sad good byes and finally a trip back to the airport. After our pretty uneventful flight back to Chennai, we had to go back to the train station and reclaim our big luggage; thankfully it was untouched and intact. After boarding the train we figured out that we had another 25 hours ‘til we would finally arrive in Mumbai…

Lee and I by this time have become totally accustom to being the center of attention and an endless source of entertainment for the locals. We spent our time painting our nails, singing songs and reading books. The books entailed “A prayer for Owen Meany” (which Debbie had given me to read) as well as a few I wasn’t to say joke books which we had purchased on the train, but we were laughing at the grammar more than the actual jokes, but anyway it helped to pass by a few of those many hours on the train.

After finally arriving in Mumbai, Lee had to get all her stuff sorted out as her flight to the UK was the day we arrived, mine was the next day. Saying goodbye to someone how had essentially become my sister was really hard, although it never quite hit me ‘til I realized the next 24+ hours of my Indian adventure were to be spent alone, without my ’sister’…then it got sad…
