Bye bye Dehli

We left Saturday night at 1:45 AM. It's weird leaving a country in the middle of the night. I felt like we were sneaking out of Dehli while the rest of the country slept, as if we had stolen all the gin, samosas and silk sarees.

The last day in Dehli was perfect. Here is why:

1- Riley’s laptop reappeared after 3 weeks in the Air France locker room. They reunited them as we checked in.

2 - We had  free tea & chocolate cake with cognac espresso sorbet at the Oberoi Hotel whilst dressed like dirty ragamuffins who didn't want to take a cold shower. (Only the first part of this sentence was perfect)

3 – Hot oil head massage one last time at Plum Salon (wanted to maximize time that I would be clean on the plane)

4 – The DJ finally played Come on Eileen at Spinns (a new favorite place in the world) 

5 – Dori finally informed me that India has an 11 ½ time zone difference, not 12. All the clocks in India are NOT wrong. I thought that "India Stretchable Time (IST)" occured because no one knew what time it was. 

6 – Ashutosh (our favorite hotel clerk) is on facebook and has added us as a friend

7 – Water in the Dehli Airport costs 10 rupees (less than a $0.20)
