Journal - 20th March 2006

We're sitting in Delhi's domestic airport lounge. And there are continuous anoucements for passengers to identify their luggage.
We've been through a fair few of India domestic airports now, but i cannot get my head around this process of identifying your luggage manually - after your bags have been through the baggage screening and through check-in.
We're expected to go out on the runway, and tell an official which ones are our bags, so he can load them onboard. As unless baggage is identified it is not loaded on the aeroplane. Just another something that you have to do that slows you down.
Dont know if anyone heard me complaining today but we didnt have to do for our flight to Mumbai i dont know if it had anything to do with flying Jet Airways, but we most certainly had to go through the process with Spicejet & Air Deccan .

We're in Mumbai now, and really can feel the heat out here..! Its been hot of course, ever since we left icecold England, but guess we havent felt it being unbearable hot yet.. until now.. !!
Oohh! now Pauly will catch a tan i hope..
Well Mumbai definately seems alot less dusty - we spotted quite a few official street cleaners out here on the drive home to from the airport, and they are actually doing something about keeping the city clean by the looks of it, well they are so here in Andheri West the rest of the city we are yet to see. But we are looking fwd to it.
Its quite alot more built up out here now too, than what i remember from 5 years ago. Quite a few more shopping malls have gone up. And i spotted a Reliance Webworld place, right opposite the place we are staying at the mo, so thats pretty handy in itself..!
