last night in India

I am truly sorry for my lack of updates recently. There were a combination of thing that made it either uninteresting or impossible to write or post. One problem is the already mentioned lack of computer (posting from the phone isnt all that awesome), then there was the whole broken foot thing which meant a lot of reprioritizing, a lack of reliable internet access haunted us since Goa and now here in Delhi, and in addition I have been having "issues" after I ran into some bad food on Saturday, taking a lot of time and energy I would rather have spent elsewhere... did get around to read several books at least. Kindle ftw.

Our flight back to Frankfurt is scheduled for a ~13:30 departure with a 9 hour flight time giving us an ETA of ca. 18:00 in Germany. A taxi should be here around 9 in the morning so we get to the airport in good time.

A tourist information/travel agency employee came by a short while ago to pay back some of our outlays on transport that never came to be, out of the ca. Rs4200 we paid out we got 2000 in cash from his own pocket, the rest the company will reimburse us via bank transfer. It seems that most of our problems were due to rotten eggs in the basket, the Kochi driver was fired for ignoring several customers and the leader of the office here in Delhi (whom we dealt with initially) ran away with Rs700,000 a couple of weeks ago and caused them all sorts of problems... if what they told us was indeed true, I found it commendable of them to show up at our hotel in the middle of the night to settle the issues. Susanne remains less impressed. Still, even with the minor bumps in the road, we have had an awesome experience here and we are already looking for new areas of this little dirtball to explore.
