JAIPUR-ASMAL

Well we finally made it to Jaipur after more than 24 hours of travel .

The last leg from Delhi to Jaipur was delayed an hour or so and Asmal picked us up after 9pm last night.

I normally manage a few hours sleep on international flights but hadn't had a single minutes kip on this one as a result of the worst cough I'd picked up from Cheryl just prior to departing .

Every time I felt I might nod off I landed up with the "tickle" in the back of the throat, and another bout of uncontrollable coughing 🤑

The problem was exacerbated with the flying I think and I'm sitting up in my room here at 4am with exactly the same problem through the night resulting in zippo sleep now for 2 entire nights!

What a ballache!!!

Anyway can't be helped really so I'll ust have to ride it our.

We had q great flight on Emirates 

,which allows 46 kg of luggage/person,until we reached Delhiwhere we suddenly were limited to 15 kg each on the leg to Jaipur.

I was ok but the girls had brought across around 22 kg each and we were forced to either pay up a fair amount of money, or to transfer the heavier stuff to our hand luggage.

Spent a half hour doing the latter and then sent the girls two huge bags through virtually empty while we lugged the stuff on board for the flight.

Makes no sense and it's gonna present a bit of a problem for the girls going back.

I mean what the )$&@'s the point of flying with an airline which allows 46 kg and then allies with an airline allowing less than 1/3 of that????
