Shortly before
nine, the taxi driver arrived at the hotel. I used the waiting time
to listen to Delhi’s radio stations and to watch the people in the
lounge.
It took us more
than half an hour to get to the airport which is quite fast. When the
driver told us that we had to pay 512 rupees, we were happy to have
accepted Raghav’s offer to order a taxi. The hotel would have
called one for 1500 rupees!
After a last
breath of hot, humid Delhi-air, we entered the departure hall. We had
“dinner” in a coffee shop. A croissant, a blueberry muffin, a
coffee and one hot chocolate... Then we could get rid of our big
luggage and check in. Passport control, security check. In the duty
free area we had a look at the rupees we had left: some more than
2000. We decided to buy a shawl for me and instantly found one for
1800 rupees. Then we had enough money left to buy some water and two
CDs. Eventually, we had 40 rupees left which I just spent for sweets.
So now no more money left!

We are waiting
for the boarding. It is half past twelve right now and we are leaving
Delhi at 2:25 am. This is going to be a tough night...
