I saw this as a message from the Universe. To me
the message read, 'Way to Heaven. And yes, they
have a room for you to stay!' It was too cold for me
to remove my riding gear. I unrolled my sleeping
bag and sneaked into it with two blankets over me.
Completed his routine visits to his luxury 6 Senses*
hotels. (6 Senses chain of hotels already rank as top
15 luxuries hotels of the world!)
I guess it took all of these hardships for me to
realize and appreciate that, it is a blessing if you
have a little room, with a pillow to rest your head at
night!! We left behind the bike and our bags. I only took
my side bags and got ready to leave. Walking
behind me, Pankaj sweetly asked, "Partner if are
feeling cold, I can ride". I know Pankaj's nerves were
already rattled. I replied, "Thanks for the concern,
Partner. But you will make a better pillion than I".
After a while I felt warm. A smile returned to my dry
face. Beautiful sunshine! Now I understand why
people used to worship the Sun. and now so do I !! And finally we reached Sanjay!!! Yes, we made it and
all I can say is, whatever we went through was
absolutely worth it!
We set off on our bikes once again and Partner's
bike finally gave up. He felt that if we pushed it any
harder, it may affect the engine and he would be
forced to give up the ride of his dreams. We called
Sanjay, one of the most resourceful persons I have
met in Bhutan. He told us not to worry and to leave
the bike where it had stalled. He assured us that a
truck with 6 soldiers would be sent from the Palace,
to pick up Partner's bike, while we should proceed
to our pre-decided meeting point to start our ride
across Bhutan. He scheduled to meet us there once
he had - Sanjay, his brother and his cousin were the perfect
hosts. They ensured that our bike ride through
Bhutan was perfect, the food incredible, excellent
rooms to stay.. with laughter and happiness every
single day!
Our experiences in Bhutan taught us to trust in
existence and to keep our faith. Now, onward to
conquer our next country!
P.S. Pankaj's RC book was found on the ground
next to immigration office!!
