Today is a long day of travel with a 5-6 hr flight. I saw some BBC news yesterday with the HORRIBLE air condition in New Delhi & sort of dread that. But we understand that the RS office monitoring it & will make changes in travel if need be. I heard today that the air is a bit better. Mask time!. I’m hoping that where Taj Mahal region is better air.
UPDATE: it is now November 6 and we are in New Delhi. We landed late last night after a 5+ hour flight. At the airport we were greeted with flower leis and drummers marching us to our bus and it created a welcoming & festive atmosphere. It’s very different from the Arabic countries. We checked into our hotel— the Oberoi. OMG it’s for sure 5 star!! I’ve never seen a hotel this over the top! I can’t enumerate all of its amenities here, but if you want to, you could check their website. Wow!
We were very delayed getting to the hotel because there was a huge protest going on in the streets that delayed us almost an hour. In addition we were late getting through the airport, getting our luggage etc. So by the time we got to the hotel it was almost 11 o’clock. We had not yet had dinner. And the restaurant up on the rooftop---outdoors in this bad air! They had a most fantastic array of Indian foods. The level of service and the quality of the food was beyond belief. I wish Roger could have eaten this!!
It is now the next morning and we are in our bus to drive four hours to the Taj Mahal. I'll write about today in another post.
