After 24 hours stuck in Delhi we finally escaped! All a bit touch and go whether we would make it to Kathmandu, even when we were actually flying. So many planes were trying to land in Kathmandu that we circled around for ages and the pilot announced that we would have to turn back in 10 mins if no landing slot! Big answer to prayer when we finally landed! See below for pic of Turkish airline that came off the runway and caused all the trouble! Actually we got off lightly as we had only 24 hours delay. Met some frenchies who had been waiting for 4 days. Poor things!
And for those of you who like a bit of 'you reap what you sow' guess what happened to the guy who bullied his way to the front and got a boarding pass? Yup he and others were not allowed out of the airport for hours and then had to organise their own hotel.....poetic justice I think.....
