1979 Holidays
Stato: INDIA (IN)
This journey began badly.
From Milan I took the plane that I had to lead to Rome to meet with the group, party arrived an hour late after the scheduled time, the luggage was delivered to me only an hour after my arrival, travel from national to international, when I arrived in charge of travel "The Fan" if it was going, the others had already boarded.
With his help I have the documents of shipment and I handed my luggage, travel to the port to board the aircraft to customs, I feel that my passport expired after a few days and I had problems to return, my fault that I have not checked then you will see ...... Last surprise: the plane had already detached from the terminal, ready to call un'incaricato who stopped all, a police car brought me back to the ladder is open for me, finally came on board I felt the eyes of all upon me, had come even a 007.
Upon arrival in New Delhi, with our escort, I went to the Italian consulate to renew the passport, unfortunately, the console was sick in bed and forced an employee has made me the necessary documents and then, in his company, there We visited the room of the console and I was sympathetically received, I was with him a long time, chatting and telling my own adventures. Before we went back to the airport to pick up your luggage, arrived by plane the following year. All well and one that ends well.
On this trip I visited beautiful places and other very bad for the misery that I have met and seen.
Unfortunately I did not like a diary in successive trips, and therefore do not remember the names of places that I visited.
In a city, which I do not remember the name, by the hotel we were given plastic bags to use as boots because there would be served in small streets where sewage was everywhere, and you walked in m. ..... . At some point I had to override a person wrapped in rags lying on the pavement, did not move, perhaps no one had died and the case was, after me, another person has taken place for the feet and the ' it approaches the wall and say nothing was removed.
Of these scenes, I saw several: cows that were lying in the middle of the road and the cars running around, dead animals floating in the rivers, people who were swimming in water putrid and smelly.
In contrast, our tourists, we were guests in great luxury hotels with a exaggerated.
From 1979 to today, will certainly change many things, but this trip I was saddened to see how millions of people live in these conditions of absolute poverty and in other palaces with sumptuous guards and servants.
The photos were taken with film cameras, they were then ruined equipment from the customs authorities, and finally scanned, so I am not sure of good quality, but also describe what I saw.
Among the many trips, but happy for having done so, not sure which one I want to redo.
