And onward to Mumbai

And so we departed Jaipur in warm sunshine, accompanied by the rep and a different driver, Subhash having family commitments. The drive was through the newer parts of Jaipur, bigger houses and modern flats in the suburbs. Near the airport we detoured briefly to Neelkathan Exports, a textile warehouse selling local craft work both in traditional styles and designer gear; Gordon Ramsay is a customer.
The airport was a few minutes away and not very busy.
Easy flight on time in A321 brought us in to Mumbai Airport, which as we had been told, borders the slums, or vice versa. In fact our hotel, which has an excellent rooftop pool, is closer to the runway than the control tower and overlooks a slum in between. Tomorrow will be an interesting day!Leggi altro
