この日はコーチンからデリーへ。
そして日本へ…。
さて、早朝の空港にて。
4時。まだ暗いけれど、人はたくさん。
とりあえず国内線のロビーへ行って、空いている席に腰を掛けて、ふう～っと一安心。
売店でチャイを買いました。チャイと言っても、ミルクティーだけど。そしてバナナパコラがあったのでそれも買いました。
あの町の食堂で食べて以来、私はバナナパコラがすっかりお気に入り。どうもバナナの種類がいろいろとあり、パコラ用のバナナは日本では手に入らないようです。
AcoとAyamiの大量の荷物を眺めながら、さてデリーに着いたらどう動こうかと考えました。20数キロはある荷物が二人ともそれぞれ４つはあるし。
どうやらデリーの空港には荷物預り所のようなところがあるらしいのです。私たちはガイドブック一つ持たずに来てしまったので、Wifiのつながる場所でひたすらネット検索を続けました。しかし荷物を預けると言ってもお金が結構かかる…。
チェックインの時間になり、カウンターへ行くと、どうやら乗り継ぎの航空会社が同じなので荷物は全て現地まで運んでくれるとのことでした。ということは、デリーでは最低限の手荷物だけ預ければいい。私たちは大喜びしたのは言うまでもありません。
デリーで半日過ごしたら、あとはもう日本へ戻るんだ、と思うと残念でもあり、あたたかいお風呂に入って清潔なお布団で眠れる、ということへの待ち遠しさもあり、不思議な気分でした。
つづく…。

Part6 Kochi Day 5
We were moving from Kochi to Delhi, and then to Japan....
At the airport, early morning.
It was 4 a.m. and still dark outside, but there were many people at the airport.
We went to the domestic flight lobby and sat down on the chairs.
We felt relieved for a while.
I bought a cup of chai at the shop. It said chai, but it was just normal tea with milk. They had banana pakora, so I bought one of them too.
Since I had it at the Hotel City Light, I liked it so much. I was told that there are different types of bananas and they use the one we can't get in Japan to make banana pakora.
We were thinking about how to move around in Delhi as we were looking at the luggage of Ayami and Aco. Each of them had at least four boxes and each box was about 44 pound and a bit.
It seemed there was a baggage storage in Delhi airport. We didn't even have a travel guide book of India, so wherever Wifi available, we googled everything we needed. However, we have many pieces of baggage and it would cost a lot...we were wondering.
It became our check-in time and we went to our counter. Then I was told they would take care of our baggage from Kochi to Japan as we were using the same airline. That means all we need to take care about was our hand luggage. Whoohoo!
After half a day in Delhi, we were going back to Japan. It was so sad, but at the same time, we couldn't wait to take a hot bath and sleep on a clean futon mat... It was a strange feeling.
To be continued...
