Well, that was quite a whirlwind day!
Seven hours in the LGW Terraces is something to be thankful for all-in-all. An EK 773 passing under the new bridge - very impressive. The two-and-a-half hours out to MLA. The freakishness of getting off the plane, getting driven fifty metres in a bus to the arrivals hall, walking another fifty to get back to departures, back on the plane, another two-and-a-half hours and back to a nearly desserted LGW! The cabin crew thought I was a courier.
Ah well - I can console myself with the fact that my DEL F trip is up-and-running now!
