Last experience in India.


The driver picked us up at our hotel at 5:30 am.  The sight of the travel agency representative at the airport demanding our driver hand over (some or all?) the tip we gave him left a sour taste in my mouth. He (the driver) had looked after us well for several days and we were happy to give him something.  The rep was a johnny-come-lately.  I hope the driver also knew the system and was able to look after himself.    Such is India.  Normally tourists don't see this side, so its being blatantly on show was a shock.

Friday was Holi-day, so I got colours on my face, and we were offered sweets during check-in.

We are now safely in Singapore, back to "comfort zone".  The thing I appreciate most is being able to drink the water straight from the tap - saves a lot of bottles!  And we don't have to watch for cow dung on the road - aka "land-mines" as our Delhi guide called them.

Back to Sydney Monday night.
