Friday 4 December The drums come back. I'm wide awake and my stomach is sore. Must be that very very hot wrap. I get my ear plugs and eventually fall asleep. As soon as I'm up my stomach is sore again. The toilet and I are well aquatinted. We wait around for the phone call from the embassy. It doesn't come. I eat some of Malcolm's left over noodles. Eventually Malcolm goes and calls the embassy from reception. Turns out there was no problem, the lady at the des...

Thursday 3 December Sleep is so good. I could do with more. We get ready and head down stairs to get breakfast and printing done. There is no mention of breakfast and we spend about an hour trying to get the printers to work. Eventually we give up and go to a store down the road where it works smoothly. We continue on our way to the metro station and figure which tickets to buy. We get a 3 day pass. We have to go through security first- bags through a scanner an...

Wednesday 2 December The flight is shorter than expected; only 3-4 hours plus Tarmac time. There are lots of crying children on this flight. I try and rest as much as I can. Breakfast is vegetarian special for us. It's nice, but as soon as i'm done, my stomach is a mess of cramps that don't let up till I rest. It's foggy smoggy or smoky in Delhi and cool. We make great time through the airport and no problems with visas. We get out and there is no one to colle...

Tuesday 1 December I wake early. Which is annoying when you know there is a full day with no rest ahead! I can sleep well in busses or cars, but not planes or airports! We get ready to leave then head down for breakfast, which is just being set up. We go outside and our taxi is waiting and off we go. It's less than 10 minutes and costs €16 euros. At least easier than walking! We get checked it. It takes a little while - it seems something to do with our visas....

Monday 30 November We get up early and pack up and go down stairs and wait at reception for airport transfer. Thankfully the man is ready to leave before the time he specified yesterday and we head out. We wait at the end of the street while he gets the car. The sun is just rising and it's so pretty. At the airport we get straight in line to go through security and then to get our papers checked. It's such a short flight so we have lots of time in Athens airport...
