Last night in India

Well, the internet connection in Udaipur was pants to say the least. It started working for about 5 minutes, then would cut out completely...
As a result I'm having to update the diary here at something past midnight here in Delhi. We have to get up to go to the airport in less than 4 hours to go to Hong Kong.

Here are a few photos from the last few days:

Me in the vintage car we got to the airport this morning - a classic Chrysler. very cool.
