17th KIP 2011
Day 1 in India.
26 April 2011 - Tuesday
Waking up in Room 228, Hotel Rockland Inn, CR Park, New Delhi - next to me is Parishka Sharma. Time on my watch is 9.30am (India Time) Gosh! That means I only slept for some six hours. Walked over to the window and stared out. The hotel signage was blocking most of my view of the road but I could still see partially. People driving like mad. People crossing anyhow. Some selling goodies to passer bys. Some yarning by the roadside.
By the time a freshened up the other two girls were awake and came over to our room. We made our way down to the lobby only to find out that breakfast ends at 10am! HAH!! We missed breakfast. We can't go out of the hotel. What will we do?
The very nice lady at the counter came to us and told us we can go and breakfast =) Phew. That was such a relief. So we went and had breakfast. Enjoyed out first meal in India. It was similar to that back home :)
The chef came and met us - he was really nice - and told us to make our way back to the dinning area at 1pm for nice Lunch. So after our wonderful breakfast we made our way up to room 228 and watched TV. So many channels to flip through so we did not mind staying in doors. Plus this was a bonding moment for us as well. We all got to know each other a little better and this was time well spent.
at 1pm we went down for lunch - very yummy Pasta and salad and we also had delicious Butter Chicken and Naan :) And for dessert we had strawberry Ice cream :D
After lunch we returned to the room and watched TV and told jokes and stories =) It was fun.
For dinner we had pasta, aloo (Potato) curry and a very nice noodle dish. Mr. Sharma came to visit us and complimented on us being well behaved (a very LOL moment). it is very exciting that more participants will be coming down tomorrow :)
can't wait :D
