Prospects look good

Since I last posted, the fog has cleared from the airport, the tanker strike ended and I have arrived in Calcutta in one piece. I am taking a bus tonight and will hopefully arrive at the border with my friends in hand in the early afternoon tomorrow. Phase 1 is to get out of India in a week before my visa expires. This looks to be very probable.

Phase 2 is to get to Kathmandu in one piece, get a new Indian visa and return to Delhi by Feb 16 for a friend's wedding. That has yet to be proved probable. Ill keep this updated.
