Sunday 27th March
Decided i couldnt be bothered travelling into Delhi when my plane was leaving at 7pm and i only woke up at 11am. My Pack weighs something like 21 Kilos and my handluggage is probably close to 10. Lugging that around delhi didnt seem all that appealing so i decided to rock up to the international airport. One thing that stuck out clearly was the military presence. on the departures ramp there must have been about 4 concrete forts with around 4 MPs in each carrying some kind of automatic weapon. Kind of off putting when you know you have to get on a plane. I spose im only really a coutry away from Afghanistan though, and there is an election looming in india, and a horde of very unhappy Indians….. OHHHH and guess what??? apparently Nepal has had a few bombs go off, apparently in Kathmandu too… JOY out of the frying pan and into the fire. still i have this feeling that everything is going to work out ok. HEHE always the optimist. i really need to run a spellchecker over these pages….. Anyway from what ive seen of delhi (approximately 2kms around the airport) its pretty shit with a lot of military. HMmmmm lets hope things are going to improve.. otherwise PETE here i come 
well i made it to nepal in one piece, only the idiot from geckos that was supposed to transfer me to the hotel was a no show. so i was hassled by all the taxi drivers for the hour that i put off waiting and him not answering his phone and decided to cab it. quite a nice hotel im staying in, hopefully it will be another decent bunch of people on this tour… Anyway when i got there, about 20mins after i was there a bomb went off about 200m from where i was staying, it was at a bank and apparently a few people died. What the hell have i gotten myself in to?
