Friday to Varanasi

A very late start today as we had a 11:00 plane to Varanasi. Ann got her outfit which actually looks nice. But then it turned into a 1:00 plane. We took off finally at 3:15. It was a short flight of only 45 minutes. It did, however, take 10 minutes longer as the pilot seemed to overshoot the runway as we were landing, and pulled up to circle around and do it again. They said there were “birds on the runway”, but we weren’t so sure.


Because we got in so late, we will not do the river cruise for sunset on the Ganges tonight, but will do it at the end of the day tomorrow. This does seem like a cleaner city than the rest of India. There is still some trash in the street, but significantly less so. However, it doesn’t make the air any cleaner.
