We've Done it!!!!!! We are now back in 'Sunny' Bognor Regis and being happily mothered!

The last day in Delhi was one of the longest days of the tour as we were desperate to get home. We were so keen to leave the smell of the Indian Capital behind we got to the airport 12 hours early to avoid any problems. The only major incident occurred as we finally reached check in and the BA lady failed to find our names on the flight! Thankfully this was only a short lived complication and we miraculously appeared somewhere ("I've tried everything... oh no... here you are..."). A heart attack would not have been a good way to end the tour, but she was pushing us in that direction! We boarded the flight and covered the the now seemingly routine 9 hours in no time at all, arriving at 6.45am in a cold but sparklingly clean Heathrow T5.

So that's it. This is the last blog post (please try and hold the tears in...) We hope you have enjoyed reading it as much as we have enjoyed writing it. It has been an incredible 9 months and an adventure we aren't going to forget quickly, however the time has come to taste the real world start repaying the debts! And remember.....'Life is good today!'
