We left MCI at about 2:00 PM on January 8th, headed to New Delhi via DFW and Doha, Qatar. We finally arrived at our lovely hotel, the Suryaa, after a 27 hour journey, at about 5:00 AM on the 10th with a little help from the International Date Line. We’re sleeping-in this morning to try and beat our jet lag, before starting our program with dinner at 6:00 PM this evening.
Having arrived well after dark last night, we haven’t really seen anything of New Delhi yet except the crowded immigration and customs facilities at the airport, so photos of India will have to wait. In the meantime, however, we did take a few shots in the remarkably luxe (and HUGE) Doha airport crammed with multiple locations of every high-end retailer in the world. We noticed that they didn’t install nearly enough seating for the number of people transiting the airport, presumably hoping to keep everyone wandering through the shops.
That's a crazy long flight! Lots of interesting sights in Delhi, but it takes time to adjust to the heat and non-stop traffic and activity in the streets. Looking forward to your photos!
