Rose at 4.45am, enjoyed an early breakfast with John and Jennifer. John has repacked his bike but has put the handlebars back on and just turned the forks. You are supposed to remove handlebars, turn and attach to bike. Much slimmer and neater. As a result his box has got a huge bulge in it which he has taped and tied with string. Looks so funny. Spike of course is very neat and tidy. Smirk, smirk. The mini bus with Vanda and Fraser arrives, she is still not 100%, hope she improves when she gets home.
We arrived at chaotic Kolkata Airport but surprisingly things go much more smoothly this time. John chats up the check in clerk, apparently he comes from Kalimpong and is very interested in our bike ride. Before we know it we are all upgraded to Business Class
on the first leg to Dubai. Lovely. Loads of legroom, loads of drink if we want it, tablecloth, lovely food. Good stuff. We transfer easily in Dubai and arrive in Glasgow on the morning of Thursday 27th February. Murray meets me and goodbyes are said. I will see John and Jennifer in Arran, Vanda in Islay, would like to think my path would cross Fraser's again one day. Difficult saying goodbye. Journey's end.
