11 months since leaving home. An awful nights sleep as it was very hot and we didn't have an air cooler. Up before 6 for breakfast and then a not very leisurely stroll to the bus station for a bus I was convinced we'd miss because we didn't know where it was going from. It turned up and sat in front of us were Graham & <someone whose name is lost in the mists of time> from Hartlepool & Leeds. They'd passed through our mud hut the previous evening and were in the last week of a 9 month trip round the world. Their first taste of Indian buses was not good as the bus had very little leg room and was a 5 seats across bus. It also rapidly became the most crowded bus we'd travelled on in India. I had the misfortune to have a heavy steel case fall on my head as the bus lurched from side to side. Not a word of apology from anyone although someone asked "any blood?" and Oz had to stop them putting the case back up above us.
Amazingly the bus made it to Jodhpur in 5 1/2 hours and we walked to the Tourist Bungalow, had a snack and chatted to our 2 English friends. They left to try & get on a train to Delhi and we crashed out. Later on we tried to reserve a seat on the train to Delhi but it was full. We managed to find the exclusive and highly recommended Kalinga restaurant and Scotland beat CIS 3-0 and Holland beat Germany 3-1. That means Holland & Germany are through.

Things have been a bit different in the Euros this time, Holland out, France and England through. As ever, the Germans are also through.
