Update on Day 19:

Last night we had dinner at Moti Mohal Delux, the restaurant where they supposedly invented butter chicken. It was walking distance from our hotel in South Delhi.

Exceptional.

Day 20 began with packing up and checking out, as the textile tour was ending and we were going our separate ways.

We spent the morning at the Indian National Craft Centre. There were exhibits covering painting, sculpture, textiles and many other kind of crafts. It was a perfect way to finish off.

Some samples:

It was all set in beautiful gardens with calm music playing. Lovely.

I did serious amounts of shopping.

We had a delicious modern Indian lunch in the cafe, our last meal mostly together.

I left the group at the next stop (pashmina shopping) and got a taxi to the airport.

My flight to Cochin in southern India was uneventful. Arrived a little late.

I was picked up by the people from my next tour, and had a long car ride to the hotel.

Cochin is warm and tropical. My biggest impression from driving in last night deliriously tired is that Cochin has a lot of Christian churches, which I have not seen in other parts of India.

More later….
