Day 252, Delhi, India

At the museum yesterday 

Well, I guess today you would call a boring day in the sense of travel.

We caught a taxi to the airport and were there early. Udaipur Airport is very clean and modern, but very quiet; only 5 flights departing today!

An uneventful flight and arrival into Delhi, then a taxi to our guesthouse, which took a while. We are staying quite close to the airport, only it took the driver a while to find the property. 

Tonight we are staying at a guesthouse, only three rooms and we are welcomed by the mother standing on the balcony waving us up.

Another one at the museum 

She made us a lovely cup of tea and a biscuit and sat and had a chat, a nice change from a hotel.

So Shanna and I have experienced it all while in India; a 5 star hotel in Juhu beach, a hotel in the midst of it in South Mumbai, an unusual guesthouse with a super view from the rooftop restaurant, a Palace (indescribable beautiful) and now a Homestay.

We walked to a nearby mall as we needed a couple of things, Shanna a new suitcase and for me some hairspray. The Ambience Mall was big and modern, we almost felt like we were not in India anymore. Well, suitcase was no issue, but hairspray! We went to numerous shops, we even found a supermarket (my first one in 3 months!), but none to be found. At one stage we went into a store similar to Farmers, and was approached by a male assistant (not many female shop assistants). While explaining what I was after, I had 7 male staff staring at me; they are obviously overstaffed here! A very bizarre experience and still no hairspray! I eventually found some at a hair salon though.
