Sunday morning our last day in Ahmedebad. Most of the group take the opportunity to have a lie in and a stroll around the market. Lokesh rounds up the rest of us and we are off to Petaphur, a village 1 hour outside the city, to meet one of the most reknowed block makers, Govindlal Prajapati. The craftsmanship in the making of the blocks is amazing and an archive of every block produced. After some home made baking and coffee, we head back to the city. The address on his business card is brilliant by the way.
After a wee revision of the itinerary, we head back to lunch with Abhay Mangaldas. Abhay is the CEO of the House of MG and is a prominent business man in Ahmedebad. Lunch is an international affair with stir fry and pizza with a much relished choc mousse for pudding.
Tonight is sleeper train night and I am not sure many of us are looking forward to the experience. We get to the train station in plenty of time and wait on a pretty packed platform for the train to arrive. Jonny stays with us and helps us all onto the train. Bunks found we wave goodbye to Jonny and the train pulls out of the station.
