Day 98 Le Maridien, Delhi

We got up at 4:30 am and checked out of the Crown Plaza and bordered our bus at 5:45- Purple 1 to travel to the Cochin Airport. We traveled from Cochin to Delhi on indigo Airlines - no GF food. The Kochi Airport is an amazing place, totally solar powered (1st in the world) with the only nursery in the world to surround an airport. Very eco friendly. The state Kerela is Communist and has a 98% literacy rate, the best in India. It is also called the spice coast as all the best spices in the world are from here. The Indian security is stringent at the airport, and our quiet boxes were a cause for delay. We were told to take them along with our chargers by the ship. The guide has the transmitter and we each have a receiver that we can tune our corresponding bus number so we can hear the tour guide. We are on the same bus with Heather, Marie, Sue and Angelo and we sit in the back of the bus with each of us having our own seats. Heather and Jon (Canadian) are in a different bus, (there are at least 5 buses with 163 Neptunian’s on the tour to the Taj Mahal), but we are in the same hotel and will take our meals together in the coming days.Lue lisää
