Made it to India

Long flight but it wasn’t bad. It took about 24 hours but for the first time I took a shower in a business lounge in Germany. It was just like a hotel bathroom but in an airport business lounge. I thought it was great to break up the trip with a shower. It’s nice after being stuck in an airplane. When I fly back I’m going to plan for it and take a change of clothes. Another cool thing about the layover was in Germany was I got to eat some German food and have a few beers. The meal was the soup below and I took the beer glass as a souvenir. Oh, and I got to eat my first Indian food on the airplane. Not bad but nothing special. I did thing the little bag of mint fennel and other seeds (strange but similar to a mint of piece of gum in the states)







So, onto the first problem. I filled my TV on the plane and actually crashed it. It turned out to be Windows CE and here is a picture of the crash/reboot. Overall, the TV is so much cooler than on planes in the States. It even had video games on it and the best part is that it was included in the ticket price.



Second and more exciting problem. No driver at the airport! So, we called the hotel with the help of a local but they didn’t have a driver reservation. So, we crammed all three of us into a supper small extra mini van and made our way to the hotel. It was a little shady but we agreed on a price before we left and it worked out. Just not the nice air conditioned van we should have had waiting. Here is me in the cab...
