Aju took us to the domestic airport at 8:30, we checked in, bought samosas and caught our flight, which eas twenty minutes late. The two Indigo flights are actally one flight that stops for thirty minutes in Mumbai. This turned out to be good news both times: it was much less hassle, and the connecting flight couldn’t leave until we arrived because it was the same plane.

Arrival was extraordinarily quick, and a car was there to meet us. Now we are on our way to the Uppal. When we get there we will settle on and then go and eat at the buffet. This will be large and uniformly delicious. After this there will be short-tempered tiredness and bed.

The Uppal will feel as cold as usual after Kerala.
