Druk Air

Druk Air

Well our trip to Bhutan ends today.  We got up early, ate breakfast and then went to the airport.  It was emotional saying goodbye to our guide and driver.  We were surprised to see both Druk Airlines airplanes on the tarmac at the same time.  These two planes are the only planes allowed to fly in and out of Bhutan.  Right before we left they rolled out a red carpet and Her Royal Highness, the 4th King’s youngest sister, boarded the flight with her son and a high ranking government minister.  Our flight to Bangkok made a transit stop in Calcutta, India which allowed me to add another check on my list to join the Traveler’s Century Club.  Unfortunately I think we got the 2nd best pilot at Druk Airlines.

Today was a perfect training day for Anne & I as we prepare to win the Amazing Race next year.  We visited 4 countries in 12 hours.  We finally arrived in Hong Kong right before midnight.
