The Maharaja’s “Suit” and John Lennon is alive and well in Rishikesh!!

The Maharaja's "suit"

After phoning the Bhandari Swiss Cottage and booking 2 rooms which might sleep the 3 of us ( they don’t have rooms for 3 and can’t add an extra bed for whatever reason) for 1000R a room, we arrived to be told, “There are no rooms.” I reminded him that I had booked but that makes no difference. So he did have one room, funnily enough. The suite. Spelt “suit” on the keyring.Up on the third floor. The higher you go the more expensive it gets. Yes, we could have this room for 1500R. That would save us 500R. But would it fit 3? I asked. Maybe, if we all slept on one bed. The bed was huge so it looked a possibility. The room had air con., TV, huge bathroom with bath, dressing room??? and a lounge room.What else do you have? I asked, after Mia had spied the TV. We were then shown a room for 300R with same size bed but that was it. On the ground floor and very basic. Which would have been OK if Mia had not seen the TV. So….of course we are in the “suit”. And it is very nice.

I saw John Lennon today.He is alive and well in Rishikesh hanging out at an ashram near the Ganga. Photo below to prove it. I must check if Paul McCartney has had a message from him. If not I need to let him know!!

It's John!!!

  5. Thoroughly enjoying reading about your adventures in India.
    I reckon it is John Lennon, but I was distracted by the bunches of bananas in the background. They are still over $10. kilo here!!
    Look forward to reading about your time at Adani School.
    Much love

  6. Hi Jo,
    Great to see that you have discovered my blog. Bananas here are very cheap. we can buy 4 for 10R. There are 45R to the Australian dollar, so work that out! School here is fascinating and tonight I will update the blog with some news about it. Hope all is well with the Lewises
