So here I am, 1 hour, 2 beers and a curry into my flight to India. Just past Berlin if you’re interested. Not convinced by air India yet, the food was pretty good but the fact the zoomed in map of the channel had famous ship wrecks marked was a bit disconcerting. Even more worrying was the white smoke out of the jet engine when they started it. Although this just reminded me of tony’s van ;-). And like the van it seems fine now it’s going. The only thing to of crashed so far is entertainment system. Some linux problem. Do you think I could fit Iain in hand luggage next time I fly?
I’m a bit surprised to be here tbh, as I went to get my Visa on Thursday to discover that you can no longer get same day visas. Doh. The soonest my visa could possibly be ready would be Monday afternoon, and I need to check in on Tuesday morning. They make no guarantee about when it’ll be ready. So I just had to turn up on the Monday on the off chance. I’d pretty much given up as they turned the 3 people before me away as there visas were not ready. But mine was ready waiting for me. Phew.
A last minute flurry of emails to try and book a room has failed so I intend to get a cab to one a hotel that looks good (£7.14 per night air con’d with en suite) and hope for the best.
Anyways I will let you all know how it goes in my next entry.
