Mandvi Mistake
The gentle bumping and the melodic honking of the overnight bus from Ahmedabad to Bhuj lulled me into such a deep sleep that I didn’t wake up until Mandvi, almost 2 hours later, which was a nice coincidence since I had planned to go there anyways…eventually. A quick walk around the coastal boat-building town reveled very sleepy residents and very little boat-building: most of the production had been on hold for several years as investments ran dry. Nevertheless, very much worth the mistake.
