First time I flew straight from Narita to Mumbai. There is 1 daily flight that does this route and I haven't been aware of it before! Made the travel so much faster and easier. Fly time is almost exactly the same as to Helsinki at 10.5 hours with ANA Air.
Only stayed in Mumbai for 1 night before heading down to Goa for a symposium. Goa has long been on my list of places to India that I wanted to see so finally got to check it out. I still would prefer Thailand as a holiday resort. Maybe I spent too short time and didn't get the real Goa vibe. Gotta leave something for next time.
After Goa I continues to Hyderbad to wrap up 2018 with the team and tried the newly opened ITC Hotel. Really nice and buffet there had everything one could ask for.
Last stop Delhi before heading back. Crazy polluted and jammed. Took me 1 hour to get to the hotel even though I arrived around midnight. Wonder why there was so much traffic this late. Air was so so bad, like a crap winter day in Shanghai or Beijing.
2018 really took me far and to many new places. In India alone I spent about 50 days and went to 12 cities. Never thought I would see this much of the country! Got to meet so many amazing people here and the food is fantastic. I have barely eaten any meat during the 50 days spent here, and there really isn't any need for it when veggie food is so good.

Late evening dinner after a long flights
Good morning Mumbai!
Here we go!
Not really the view I expected from the first hotel. Hello jungle
My medical team
Muumuu's at the beach
Le Meridien's pool was a lot nicer
Mumin huset?
Looks like some Finns been here...
Calangute beach
Plenty of Russian signs
When you park your car upside down...
Pollution pretty bad in Hyderbad too
Hyderbad is called the city of bracelets sometimes and the hotel has taken this message very literally.
You can only imagine the honking. Poor tuktuk drivers breathing this air all day
Last leg....Goodbye India. I'll see you in February again next year!
