Subject: Post: Seems like now everyone had clearly got enough of the early mornings, hard days and long train journeys. Today the alarm clocks were firmly silenced and ignored, and the first one of us actually woke up just before 11AM. There was no plans for this last day in India, except doing some shopping for tea, spices and souveniers in Delhi markets.When we finally got our lazy asses out of the room we headed to Karol Bagh market and spent a couple of hours there shopping. Not so surprisingly most of the time was used in silk shawl shops.. And my bag is now filled with those, some of Iryna's which did not fit her bag and some of my own. Some Indian spice mixes were also found for spicy cooking at home. Not that Indian food would ever have been so spicy.. Where ever we even asked for extra spicy food it was still very mild. That actually surprised me, I was expecting India to be more at Thailand etc level where most of the food is extremely hot.Now it is time to head back home, and I started doing so by taking an Uber taxi to Delhi airport and flying to Mumbai. The girls will fly directly from Delhi to Zurich around the same time as me from Mumbai, so we should actually meet at Zurich airport again. This will be a long journey home, so I choose to ease at least the first part and took a class upgrade for the domestic Spicejet flight. Their SpiceMax class is not exactly business class, but at least it offers priority check-ins, much better seats and a free meal. And the price for the upgrade for this flight was more of a joke, 13 euros.. :)The cute stuffed pig in my pocket is getting every security guard's attention by the way. I sometimes carry the pig in my pocket looking out when travelling and so I do again, and every time I'm going through a security check the pig is making the security guards laugh, pet it and so on. :) Latitude: Longitude: Security Code:
