Abducted by QANTAS

I have been fortunate enough to "score" an extra night in India, courtesy of QANTAS maintenance and their lack of a part which can fix a fuel leak. Yippee.

The flight was meant to leave at 7pm, which became 10pm when I arrived from Chennai in Mumbai, and while sitting in the lounge became 11pm, and now 1pm the next day.

It is 11:10pm and I do not hold high hope of them getting the hotel and busses sorted in the next 3 hours. In fact I think the part will arrive in Mumbai before we arrive at the hotel.
