We've made it through!!!

---

Well despite the odds and contradicting stories about whether we could and couldn't travel via Delhi without a visa, we've now made it through to the transit lounge. Ok, so we don't have our main bags (which are now somewhere in the air on a direct flight to Sri lanka courtesy of a private shipping company and £180!), but it finally feels like things are going right - in fact for the first time I'm not worrying at the back of my mind about getting sent back to the uk (as certain stories online would tell :-S)
The flight was very pleasant - after an emotional farewell we both managed to get some sleep, had our first taste of proper Indian food and arrived ready to take on the world.
Delhi Airport is not as we expected. It's surprisingly calm here, there ARE procedures and contrary to what most say, people have been really helpful! When we told the Virgin rep we had no visa and weren't on the list, she calmly passed us to her young colleague who then took our details and escorted us through security, no bribes required! 
The 8 hours we are now passing sat in the transit lounge are testing my perseverence far less than a Tae Kwon Do seminar ;-) Rach is taking full advantage of the executive lounger chairs here, and the small army of Bangladeshi ghostbusters who we are sharing the room with are enjoying Rach being there...
