Why India? How this all came about ... | |
Intro |
| The trip would be 18 days of travel, touring, eating Indian food, visiting relatives, having fun, being amazed, and whatever else crossed my path. | ||||
| Oct. 5 Start of the Adventure |
We flew out of Grand Forks to Minneapolis in the morning. The flight from Minneapolis to Amsterdam was 9 hours and the flight from Amsterdam to Mumbai was 9 hours. Phew... I think I watched 5 movies and played lots of Pac Man. | |||
| Oct. 6 Flight to Amsterdam |
We flew into Amsterdam around 6:30 a.m. and we had a few hours to hang out before our next flight. This is the largest airport I've ever been in! | Flight/Layover | ||
| Oct. 6 Arrival in India |
What a long two days. We left on a Monday morning and arrived late Tuesday night. After being on a plane for 19 hours, we had to sit in a car for another 3 hours to get to Pune. Ugh... | Arrival in India | ||
| Oct. 7 Pune, Maharashtra |
Day 1 - The first full day in India was spent resting and recovering from major jet lag. We took a walk and went to visit Nalinee. | First Day in India | ||
| Oct. 8 Mumbai, Maharashtra |
Day 2 - Rohinee, Nalinee, and I went to Mumbai on our second day in India. The mountains were amazing to see during the day. Mumbai is more than just a city; it is a metropolis with all of the people, traffic, and the sheer size of the city. | Day trip to Mumbai | ||
| Oct. 9-15 Golden Triangle Tour |
I left for Delhi on Friday. The tour included the cities of Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur. Wish me luck... I'm on my own in a country of one (1) billion people. | Start of Tour | ||
