And so, up, packed, breakfasted, and about to check out, when we get a call from the travel agency saying NOT to check out as the flight to Mumbai had been cancelled, and that they'd call us back within an hour. O....kay!
About forty minutes later, we get another call saying we're now booked on an evening flight instead, and that our flight hadn't been cancelled, it had left early. Five hours early. And that they had not been informed of the change of time. No problem though, as they sent the car and driver to take us to the shops in Jaipur for a couple of hours before having to head to the airport. So, shopping was done, that previously, we hadn't had time for, so that was a bit of a bonus. (I managed to get a ring for Karen for her birthday, and she was delighted with it.
All to soon it was back to the hotel to grab the bags and head to the airport. The flight was about 15 minutes late, but as we were five hours late, it was irrelevant.
The domestic airport in Mumbai is HUGE!! The bags were off the plane and waiting for us before we got to the collection conveyors. (Glasgow airport take note).
The journey to the hotel was pretty quick, and the hotel!!! OMG!! It's got a Gucci shop at the entrance. The place is stunning.
We got a free room upgrade as it's Karen's birthday while we're here. The room is on the 27th floor, and the view is awesome.
It's just after midnight, so time to crash.
