Today we travelled from the south to the northwest, where we would meet up with three more Spurn birders; Paul Collins, Mick Turton and Steve Guillem, and from there we would explore the desert regions on India.
Our flight from Cochin departed just after 09:00 and we would not get to our final destination, Amritsar, until 15:00 including a very narrow transfer in Delhi that we just about made without any issues. Once we arrived in Amritsar we settled in and went out to see the city's most famous site: the Sikh Golden Temple! Unfortunately I was not dressed correctly, so we returned to the hotel and headed out again at night, when the temple was illuminated.
It was a fantastic structure and well worth seeing. We spent about an hour walking around the sacred pool admiring the temple, and the other holy buildings in the complex, appreciating their beauty. It was well worth the visit!
