Good bye England, Hello India!

It has been a long day..
It started yesterday with us going to the airport,checking in our bags. In the check-in que there were a family in front of us with one screaming child, I just prayed that they would not be seated next to us!
We had a nice meal and then boarded the flight, no child in sight, phew.
Only had a hot chocolate then fell asleep, that is nearly a waste of a business class ticket but we were both so tired.
Woke up when we had an hour to go and then landed nicely. We got off and waited for our bags, last time we got one of our bags and was waiting and waiting for the last one, I thought that it was lost but it turned out that one of the staff at the airport had lifted it of around the corner, so 45min later when Stephen went for a walk he found it sitting on the floor. This time we only waited 10 min before I went for a walk around the carousel to find all our bags sitting on the floor, waiting for us! Who does that??? Takes the bags off and expects us to know they have done it? Not cool! Anyhow we only waited 10min today so only looked a little bit stupid.

We then got into our car and it took us to our hotel, it is lovely. Got a suite: two bathrooms, a bedroom and a living room, love it!
Hopefully we wont live here too long tho, we want to move into "our" apartment.
That was the weirdest thing: we had a meeting with the owner of the apartment we want to rent, apparently it's how they do it. We went to the owners apartment, which is underneath the one we want, with our estate agent. All of us went inside where we were met by his wife, she asked us to sit down and wait for the owner. He came after a while and we had a chat for 1,5 hours!
He was super nice, but asked us all kinds of things, what we did, if we were married, what kind of interior we liked, if we liked India etc. We drank iced tea, then real tea and we had a second look at the apartment while he went on how good it was and took notes on how we wanted it furnished.
Don't know who was selling it to who in the end, I mean, we wanted it to start with!
In the end he seamed happy with us, so fingers crossed he'll come back and allow us to move in as soon as possible.

We have now had a drink and are going to bed, tomorrow I'm off to find some shopping malls while Stephen is working, I mean that is why I'm here, no?! :)

Some pictures, they are not great but this way in our car from the airport.
 Police car.
 
 
View from our window.
Don't know if you can see, but there is a cow in the middle of the road!
