India  -  Part 8

 
Sunrise over the Himalayan mountains.Laundry drying at the side of the Ganges River.The next morning we saw the sunrise over the Himalayan mountains.  Donna awoke with a bad back pain and could not get out of bed.  Our departure from Haridwar was delayed.  Eventually, a car and driver were rented to take her back to Delhi accompanied by her devoted sister.  We had to leave earlier because the dangerous roads made it necessary for the bus to arrive back in Delhi by sundown.  Along the way we saw laundry time on the Ganges River.  We stopped for lunch at the same place we ate on the way to Haridwar.  Three hours after lunch, Suzy was the first one to come down with travelers stomach.  Lucky for her, she was better by morning.  After a long day, we finally arrived back to our very nice, original hotel in Delhi.
