Lunglei's in darkness

It'll be a short one because all wifi is down and mobile signal very slow.

It's Mizoram Day today, commemorating the founding of the state in 1987. Functionally for us that means the banks are closed so Mazaha could take us for a sightseeing trip. Also there was a football match kicked off at 0830 we could watch over breakfast - great view.

Maza with his driver collected us at 10.00 and we first saw the oldest kirk in Mizoram - or a replica, at any rate. Tiny and sweet, and only from the beginning of the twentieth century. 

As is usual, great views from here. 
There was also a parade we couldn't see but could certainly hear the bagpipes and drums - there's a very strong Scottish tradition among the regiments of the north east, including music and kilts. 


Next stop was a hill overlooking the town. Forested and really loud with some sort of cicada - sounded like a siren. The viewing platform this time appeared well constructed, though the guard rail at the top was perfect height for sitting on and, I imagine, also perfect for falling over! We didn't, though.
Our road from yesterday 


We've paid for the hotel and gone wandering to find supper - took torches! 

Sumo leaves (should leave...) at 0600 tomorrow.

Engagement

Again our driver took us from the Saturday Club to the Parsee Hall, this time for the official engagement. Most of the women wore sarees, some in traditional Parsee style, and this time even the men had mostly dressed up a little (one or two a lot).  On stage were Arinaz and Yazdan and families spent forty minutes or so exchanging gifts (money, clothing etc) and rings were exchanged while photographers circled. Most men in the room seemed to leave the women to it so Steve chatted politics and engineering while Jen joined the ladies. While this was going on waiters circulated with snacks and drinks. One of the guests was a prominent restaurateur we'd been discussing food with; when I was asked about the cauliflower pastry we agree the pastry was too thick to allow the cauli to shine through so he popped back and had a word with the chef. Fifteen minutes later I received a plate prepared just for me! I'd already eaten a couple. Served with tamarind sauce The meal proper followed....

We've made it to Heathrow

And, amazingly, we've already checked in for our flight tomorrow early afternoon. Turns out it was a fine decision to come by ferry and train as the flight from Kirkwall is cancelled for the morning. Train was fine, but it is feeling like we've been travelling a long time already - must be getting old.  We also decided to go to the BA check in desk to make sure our Bengaluru leg wasn't cancelled - or that we'd been removed due to earlier leg cancellation. We did seem to cause confusion but at least it was accompanied by sympathy and rationality, unlike our call-centre experiences - isn't life easier face to face? It's now 9.30 and we're having supper. Maybe a lie in tomorrow morning.

Revelling in our natural environments

Cyrus and Gulnar's apartment provided us with a comfortable night following on from the long evening social. I was first to rise but Cyrus joined me when the door bell rang - a good thing as I couldn't work out all the door locks. The following 30 minutes included several deliveries (fruit, cakes, green coconuts, newspapers) and the maid arrived to clear up from the night before. Two breakfasts included samples of all, including a read of the two English language papers.  We had few plans before meeting up with Cyrus' sister at the Tollygunge Club for lunch, but comfortably filled the morning eating, chatting and sorting a few better clothes out from the bag we'd left here while on our travels east. There is a swimming pool on this compound but only filled for five months of the year; Gulnar painted a lovely picture of mums of young children (including her few decades earlier) using the empty pool as a playpen! Cyrus had warned me I'd need to wear trousers in the T...
