Booked my hotel for New Delhi for three nights, but not sorted anything out yet. At the moment the plan, such as it is, involves a few days in Delhi followed by Agra for the Taj Mahal then a leisurely jaunt around Rajasthan. After that I may pop up to Amritsar or just go down to Goa for a week. We will see.
Taking my 'reserve' laptop too, so should be able to meet the requirements of the OU course on the hoof as well as updating the blog. As I won't have my phone this may be the best way to keep in touch!

Made it to Dubai in one piece, with a pretty uneventful flight. Half watched two films - Inception and Despicable Me. Inception seemed to last for ever and was hard to follow who's dream I was in! Despicable Me seemed to start well but go down hill, but I suppose that may have been me flagging.
The plane was not a A380 but a Boeing 777-300ER. No idea what the 300ER bit refers to, but the engines worked okay and only a bit of turbulence toward Dubai, when one of the stewardessess had to come and sit next to me - not because I was a quivering wreck, but because I'd managed to grab one of the few seats in the centre with empty seats next door. Result.
Dubai airport is as chaotic as ever and definitely needs more bars (put it this way; I am on coffee).
Flight to Delhi from here is only three hours (it was seven from Manchester to Dubai). I better start reading the Lonely Planet so that I can find out where I am going. I must say having the LP on the Kindle along with a raft of other books and the daily paper is brilliant!
