So. Looks like eventually we all will get to Kathmandu. At least that's what we hope for. Our little group of 5 (Adam, Jon, Liz, Eric and me) made it to Delhi after a fabulous day in London.
After a good breakfast with aweful coffee at the hotel, we went to the airport to get our boarding pass for the next fight. Then went straight into town and hopped on one of those red double decker busses and took a tour through town. We did not see Obama but saw lots of police and some blocked off roads. Halfway through the tour, by the tower of London we got off the bus. The tour guide was expecting bad traffic because of the riots for the G20. So we boarded a little boat and went down the River Themse all the way to Big Ben. A short walk to Buckingham Palace, through the park and onto the tube and off to the airport again. Everything went very smoothly for us there.
And now we're in Delhi waiting for our connection to Kathmandu. We were hoping to be able to use the 6 hrs layover for some sightseeing in Delhi - but no such luck. We are in some special area and eventually someone will come and reunite us briefly with our luggage to make sure they pulled the right ones. And hopefully our flight will not get further delayed and we will be able to hop on the short flight over to Kathmandu.
Our fab four are still nowhere near where they are supposed to be. Their flight from Doha in Katar got cancelled. They are rebooked on Gulf Air to Bahrein and then Kathmandu and will hopefully arrive at 5:55pm today. That's exactly one day late. Looks like we will beat them after all.
Feels a bit like the amazing race.
