| Tomorrow we break from India and visit
Sri Lanka. Today we wait for our flight in Trivandrum. The official name of Trivandrum
is Thiruvananthapuram, but unless you're being paid by the letter there's no reason
to use that name. It's the major city of the southwestern coast, an international
airport sits on the outskirts. We bought air tickets to Sri Lanka here, on-the-spot,
for $65 US one-way. Of course USA airlines don't work that way: they charge outrageous
prices for last minute and one-way tickets. We've found that non-USA airlines
do not charge extra for one day advance tickets and that one-way tickets cost
half of the round trip fare. |
