We’re in Delhi!
Breakfast at the hotel (9 AM) was very good with made-to-spec omelets and a huge choice of items on the buffet. Sanjay had told us to eat a LARGE breakfast since we were not having an included lunch and dinner wouldn’t be until 6:30. I didn’t overdo since I know, from past experience, that I have to acclimate to new places and food. Good choice for me. We had some extra time before a scheduled 10:30 orientation/briefing, so we did some laundry.
The orientation/briefing included a history lesson by Sanjay. He is very knowledgeable. He told us that India is a land of contrasts and extremes with great diversity. Education was also a topic with an explanation about different schools (government run and private) for children. Even if someone has money, they can’t always get their children into a school. His explanation about the 4 R’s: “Need right amount of money, know right person, be at the right place, and at the right time.”
He told us about the planned itinerary for the trip and optionals that we can take if we want. He said that when there is “free time” he would take us for some extra “spice” of something not in the regular trip.
Steve had a business meeting while I was at the latter part of the orientation/briefing. I joined him when we were finished, meeting the couple who were sitting with him in the hotel lobby. We met until 1:15 since we had to meet the group in the lobby at 1:30. Steve went to an ATM to get rupees while I went up to the room to get some items needed for the day.
