Hello! So we have finally arrived. I came late and Ileana, Lauren and Bharvi were very very kind to wait for me. We were picked up and ferried to the Sheraton post-midnight. Our original more practical hotel pooped out on them the night before, having given away their rooms despite frequent updates and calls. And at 4 AM they settled on the one large hotel in the area- a familiar if expensive splurge.
It was amazing. Luxury in the middle of urban India is a hot commodity. We had midnight snacks but it was the breakfast the next morning which was over the top: above the city with beautiful views, excellent waitstaff and a full buffet with ordering options at no cost. (well, the hotel room was enough!)
We had to get out of town or we would have relaxed by the beautiful pool and I would have insisted on shopping (I missed out the day before!) although Lauren bought me a beautiful pink tunic with gold stitching to which I need sleeves added. Because of iffy internet, I will save before describing Vellore.

How long was the flight? And (fingers crossed) is it broken up by belly-dancing shows from the flight attendants, or spontaneous Bhangra contests in the aisles? If so, I'll have to take my sarong to the dry cleaners before I go.
