We arrived at the airport to be told that "The volcano has caused the cancellation of all flights to London". After trying to explain that we did'nt have volcanoes in England we eventually had to accept that we were remaining in India for the time being.
We have gone to a hotel right on the beach in a place called Cherai. The water is warm and the view nice, and though it is hot, we have air conditioning.
We are quite near the airport in case the situation changes, but since this is not likely, we are now wondering whether we may try to reach Barcelona by air and then continue overland.
However this is only a tentative plan right now.
We can receive emails when the internet is working here (now working on Tueday).

Hope you are ok. Contact your local embassy if you need to! I wonder if you can register with them so that they are aware that you need to be got home?

ooh, or you could ask the airline to refund your fare and rebook with a different airline to spain?
ReplyDeleteHi. I've heard a few people have managed to get back successfully via Spain.
ReplyDeleteGood Luck and hope you're not stranded for too long, and if you are have fun :)
