Road Raj

The taxi-ride from the airport gave our intrepid explorers an experience not to be forgotten. I have nothing but admiration for the skill of an Indian driver in handling over-populated roads with the confidence of a charioteer!Some in our party hadn't experienced such a ride away from  the fairground. It's a bit like "Dodgems" without bashing into the other cars - well almost without.

The hotel was a welcome sight. A shower and a sleep later, and we were ready to hit Spencer Plaza,  a shopping arcade with just a hint enough of India to help us get over the intrusion of Subway and the Big Mac. Further white knuckle-riding back in the hands of courageous Deivi The Taxi-Driver, in  time for  food and a bit more sleep, to reclaim what has been robbed over the last few days.
