Science for Monks and Nuns staff arranged for a car to pick me and two other science teachers up at the hotel at 7 am. The Kangra Airport is about a 30 minute drive from McLeod Ganj. Right on time, the car showed up and we started our descent to the valley below.
When we got to the airport, we found out that the flight to Delhi would be delayed for three hours. Many other flights leaving Kangra airport were cancelled, so I felt lucky that I did not need to make other travel plans. To appease its customers, the SpiceJet airline provided a cup of instant ramen (Masala flavor) and mango juice.
Finally, the passengers boarded the plane and we took off. I must admit that this 1.5 hour flight to Delhi was one of the bumpier ones I have had in a long time. As the plane door opened when we landed, a rush of hot air entered the plane. I turned on my phone and noticed the temperature display: 104 degrees F.
A short walk to a car waiting for me and I was off to a hotel for about 10 hours before I must return to the airport for my flight back to Seattle (via Frankfurt, Germany).
