30 Mon (Day 12) Return To Delhi for last night 

Check out of our hotel after breakfast .   Our last night will be filled with lasting memories and highlights discussed over dinner (own expense) and drinks before a good night’s rest in preparation for our return home. :-)

Some memories

  • Concerned guides pointing out every little step to be "careful"

  • Felt like sheep herded by 3 dogs - But at times, that was essential as it was so easy to split off and loose the group 

  • Aircon dripping water on to the bathroom floor

  • Instant coffee but missing hot water, or no cup or no milk

  • Cornflakes with hot milk (no cold)

  • Stained & ripped sheets on beds

  • Aircon too cold or wont work

  • TV or wifi not working

  • Most little problems were fixed quickly when advised

  • Traffic rules ignored.  Comment:-  following them would stop movement

  • Traffic lanes and pedestrian crossings are only for decoration

  • Constant horns everywhere saying "I am here"

  • Vehicles so close but they seem to avoid touching - most times

  • White skinned people are a big target for touting sellers and beggars. Many turn out to be nice

  • Dust, fumes, noise,

  • No stars visible at night  Jupiter Venus and moon only visable

  • Hundreds of wind turbines - but no wind???

  • Huge gap between the rich and the poor - No welfare - People were driven

  • Piles of rubbish on the streets no wheelie bins.  These diminished over the day different enterprising locals sorted and removed food (for cows) metals, plastics, woods and cardboards. Not much left for the land fill man when he arrived.

  • A recommended experience of an industrious, noisy, but, mainly peaceful, friendly and tolerant nation. Come with respect and accept the way things are.  Life here is so VERY different and it still works ok.
