Lodging & Fooding Part 1

Most hotels do have that "Fooding" Ha Ha Ha!!!

We arrive to Bomdila, shaken but not stirred (not a juice……we ), after the landslide incident. The driver suddenly turns around and tells us that we should say, that we are just stopping for the landslide to clearup and will be heading directly to tawang. “???” I was in the same condition as you are….makes no sense, does it?
Then he tells us that university student elections are on, and hence for the campaigning purpose, students take over vehicles and ask the travelers to get down from the vehicle. And since the elections were the next day, he wasn’t too keen to take us anywhere. He took us to some really good looking 2 star hotel, I guess. We knew a couple of hotels but then he wasn’t ready to take us there. So we, i.e. me, harshad, persis and dhaval decided that we could spend a few bucks and relax a bit.

The hotel was totally empty when we got there. But, we seem to have brought some goodluck with us and hence 2 more groups came to live in the rooms right besides us (as in….in the other rooms….)

The first thing we noticed was that the room stinked a lot, not that we smelled the stink, but it was was sprayed with loads of room freshener. The toilet was beautiful, but don’t they always say? “Don’t go by the looks”….same condition here, the geyser wasn’t working, the flush of the toilet used to get stuck everytime you flushed and hence the water would keep on flowing. The little light had nice designs made by some spiders, who I thought were artists during their last lives.
