Currently sitting in Helsinki airport waiting for our connecting flight to Manchester. Spent yesterday travelling from Jodhpur to Delhi by Air India, then got dropped off at a backstreet hotel by a helpful taxi driver. We asked to get food in the hotel restaurant which turned out to be a room with one table and a couple of picnic chairs - Jukesy had his usual argument about whether the curry came 'boneless' or not - 'yes sir, the masala is boneless but the korma is not'. 'Ok' says Jukesy, 'can I pay extra to have a boneless korma?'. Waiter says 'No sir, that is impossible'. So, he went for the masala, which came on the bone! Classic!
Think it gave him a disturbed sleep as well, cos he alternated between laughing out loud, snoring, and then running on the spot like a labrador!
After a couple of hours sleep, we got up and took our last Indian taxi drive to the airport at Delhi, then a long flight here. Think we're all ready for home now, but I'm thinking that by next week we'll all be sorry to be back!
