Sorry it has taken so long to make our first in country entry, we have limited internet and I'm typing this on a phone- which isn't quick or fun at all. We had a rough start to say the least, coming out of chicago we were delayed an hour and a half which made us miss our connecting flight in london...we then had to spend 13 hours in the london airport which is something I wouldn't even wish on my worst enemies...london airport sucks. After hours of sleeping on benches and being looked at funny we finally headed to delhi- we actually needed to be in mumbai. Landing in delhi we knew the true test would be if our bags somehow made it there too. Justin found his bag right away so we had hope, that hope was short lived. The rest of our bags were nowhere to be found. The delhi bag lady, who is a saint, told us they might be in mumbai waiting for us. So we hopped on another plane and arrived in mumbai at 6pm on monday the 22nd. Unfortunately our bags were not there either and after talking to a baggage rep no one knew where our bags were or when we would get them. We now needed to make the 4 hour car ride to Pune-being in a car driving through mumbai during rush hour is one of the craziest things one can experience- we will just leave it at that. So finally after 50+ hours of traveling, wearing the same clothes, and not sleeping on a bed we arrived at the Royal Connaught Boat Club in Pune...to be continued...
