Seems everything is coming together just in time, even with a couple of last minute panics over not being able to take Rupees into India, and noticing that the trains I had booked weren't all confirmed seats. Not a problem though it seems with the trains, as friends have said just board them anyway, definitely need to get myself into the local way of thinking as soon as possible.
Only four more days of work to survive, a potentially interesting Air India flight, hoping it's not as bad as some of the reviews I've seen, an overnight train on the Radjani Express to Delhi and it'll be the opening day of the Hockey World Cup.
It's interesting reading the local press suggesting India are aiming for a semi-final place but with only the top two teams from the group going through it really could be anyone's, only Australia stand out, leaving five other teams potentially looking for that second spot, not an easy one to predict.Considering England are the European Champions after their win in August last year over the more fancied Germany, we may be an outside bet but I don't think the crowds or the heat will favour us too much.
