Leaving the Jeera office and Hyderabad

Our last meal together at Hotel Paradise

As new occupants were coming to stay at the school offices in Jeera, we were given notice to leave the premises by the 27/01. So our attention turned rapidly to househunting and on the 26th morning we found a reasonable one bedroom flat in the same street as the office. This made us feel at ease to enjoy Guy and Caspar’s last days in the city. We had bought some extra suitcases for all the extra luggage that we had accumulated, and spent quite some time packing it all up. Harshid’s family came to say goodbye to Guy and Caspar, and we had a lovely time with them eating pomegranate and ordering pizzas from Dominos.

For the evening meal they took us to a fantastic Chinese restaurant, where we enjoyed the excellent food, but most of all we savored the Chinese tea, which made us feel like we were at home. We returned to the office to collect the luggage, and with several suitcases on our laps, we managed to fit it all in for the short drive to the airport. There we joined the snake like queue that had been formed in order to the the passengers inside the terminal. Around five flights were taking off that night and it was clear that Hyderabad desperately needs the new airport which is already under construction. After Guy and Caspar went inside, Freya was pretty sad. She had really enjoyed her brothers company over these past 6 weeks, and was already missing him a lot. Along with Sandeep’s two sweet adult students Shrikanth and Santosh, we waited for about one hour to seen if they got through all right. After an overseas call to them inside the terminal we returned to the office, where we were quite happy that we were to spend only one more night.
