After waiting in a small airport for over six hours with food/water only provided by the airline or OAT, we boarded our local carrier (Vistara) and landed in Varanasi at 9:15pm. We were jubilant and exhausted at the same time upon landing! The 30-minute journey to the hotel was fun because there were
dozens of weddings taking place along the route. One after the other....so colorful and lavish and loud. Abhi fed us pizza and rum on the bus.
Below are some photos of some of my travel mates playing games I made up at the airport. When you have time to kill and a lot of space, but no ball, there’s always some kind of sport to be played! It’s always interesting to me to see who comes over to do something “athletic,” and I wasn’t one bit surprised: Abhi, Charlie, Diane, and Tim.
In the first game we had to kick a water bottle cap down the floor and get a “goal” without touching the two red borders on the floor. Abhi was the winner (he did it in 5 kicks twice!) and Diane came in second. In the second game we had to toss caps into Sharon’s neck thing (those “braces” for traveling). You stood close and tossed it once, then backed up a tile and got two chances, then backed up again and got three chances, etc. I think Charlie did the best at that one.
