Last morning in Delhi. Packed all morning. Then went out to
lunch and had arguably the best meal that I have had in India so far. Amazing
dal, naan, paneer, etc. It was a really fancy place, and everything was
delicious. I got some coffee after that to wake up before the long flight ahead
of us. At around 5 we all met up in the hostel with our suitcases and headed to
the airport. Of course, my bag caused all sorts of problems. It was too heavy
with everything stuffed into one bag. Of course I could easily fit everything
into one bag, but because it was too much, they wouldn’t let me on the plane
with it. So I had to take all of the heavy things and put them into my duffle
and check two bags. Still the same amount of weight, now just taking up more
area. Go figure.
Flight was only about 3 hours long to Dubai. When we got
there we had to go through lots of security checks and customs took forever.
When we finally got through, we had about 4 hours until we had to be back at
the airport for the next flight to Dakar. We went to a hotel right near the
airport, and since I stepped outside of the airport, I guess I have technically
been to Dubai. Yeehaw. Passport stamp and everything. The hotel was insanely
beautiful. We had 3 hours of sleep before we got up for breakfast and then
headed back to the airport.
The flight to Dakar was about 11 hours. It felt like much
longer. Tried to sleep, but that was a semi fail. When we arrived in Dakar we
could smell the beach. So refreshing. We waited in line at customs, then took a
bus to our hotel for the night. Our hotel is very nice and has wifi…kind of.
But we head to homestays tomorrow night and I am pretty confident that we won’t
have wifi there. So my blogs will definitely be posted in bulk. Don’t miss them
too muchJ
So I have no real concept of what time it is. I just ate
dinner at about 8:30pm Senegal time. I had chicken and French fries and onions.
Delicious. Not sure how authentic it is, but will soon find out! Off to bed to
get rid of this jet lag!!
