Day 478 - Up, up and away to India

The morning was spent reallocating weight in our packs for our flight so Adam's pack dramatically decreased in weight while Liv's increased! We managed to pick up a souvenier from Kazakhstan (Adam's justifying the huge cost by calling it his birthday present!), and find a fast internet place to upload some photos.

At 2pm we made our way out to the airport and hung around for our 6pm flight, which went without any dramas.

When we arrived at Delhi International airport after our 4 hour flight we grabbed our bags and joined the long queue to wait for a pre-paid taxi. Here we stood for almost 2 hours, but we managed to make friends with another traveller who gave us some good accommodation advice. Our friend Brad had already warned us that arriving late at night in the cheap part of town normally meant paying triple the price you should. So armed with this info we shared a taxi with Alan who took us to Hotel Godwin where we got a nice room for not too bad a price!

On the way we went via Main Bazar road where we checked out a few of the dodgier places (including the one we had planned to go to) but the prices were really high, so we ended up paying about $6 more to stay in a nice place with air-con, and crashed out about midnight!!

Adlibing it by air.
