We flew from Goa to Delhi on Feb. 26, and had one day in Delhi before we headed for the airport the evening of Feb. 27 for our flight scheduled to depart just after midnight on Feb. 28. The weather was gorgeous in Delhi, warm but not hot during the day, pleasantly cool at night. We had dinner at Sagar at the recommendation of our friend Susan, delicious South Indian Thali. We did some last minute shopping, and then headed for the airport. The Delhi airport is a model of inefficiency and misorganization. It took a full three hours to get in, have our bags x-rayed, check in, clear immigration and security. After all this, our flight was delayed an additional two hours because other passengers had not arrived early enough for all of that rigamarole. We finally took off about 3:30 AM, and arrived in Amsterdam almost two hours later than scheduled. But we still had time to take the train into the city, have some breakfast, and take a little stroll around town, even though it was quite cold.
