We got to Delhi and spent two day holed up in a shit-hole hotel that was not completely built with no booze cigarettes or drugs but more importantly no recordings to do and then today we got to the airport at 8 am for a 12:30pm flight to Kathmandu and it was delayed.
We spent about 8 hours at the airport and then finally boarded and taxied in the plain for 1.5 hours. Then the flight was cancelled and we got put back into que a of jets docking back to the arrivals section!
We then had to go back through customs (luckily i had a multiple entry visa for India) and then got shufffled around for an hour or two waiting for a bus to some unknown destination.
The 5 star Ramada in Delhi is very nice! all expenses paid (via airline) and 24hour room service and some really interesting, angry, happy and druggy people to mingle with.
Hopefully i will make it back to Nepal by the 23rd so i can make my return to Sydney! Delhi has a way of making you hate it because it is so hard to get anywhere let alone actually leave.
They call it fog but it is definitely SMOG! Dirty dirty dirty! (and i smoke allot of cigarets)
Cant wait to be home.
Sorry about not uploading pics to the blog, simply have not had time,.... no, have not had access to time. It is independent and meaningless in India. you will all eventually see some pics in the future. But then again if i'm here then there is no sense of future, just moment by moment. I will try to never complain about a ten minute late train again.
Not sure if i wrote about the 7 hours at Chennai train station, that was life changing!
Blake.
