Back in Delhi!

Hi Everyone.

Luckily we flew out 2 hours before the Chilean Ash Cloud hit Melbourne again (all flights have been grounded now), we arrived in Delhi late last night. Staying at the Hotel Svelte, which is conveniently built right on top of Delhi's biggest shopping mall Select City Walk, (where you want for nothing). Supermarkets, three baby stores, fashion, restaurants, cinemas etc etc.
This is our fourth trip to this mega city and we have gone for the completely modern, totally western existence, as apposed to the more cultural experience of trips gone by.

Had a chat to Dr Shivani today, and both little bubs and surrogates doing well. We are expecting a birth or two next week, so just settling in for now and giving that rooftop pool a workout!!!! Calm before the tsunami me thinks.

Have a few people to catch up with while we are here.
If anyone is in Delhi, love to catch up, do lunch/dinner or just chat, please get in contact.

Love to everyone out there at home and around the globe,

Sam and Phil xxx

    Good luck guys. I can say it has been a truly amazing first week with little Jasper. Nothing like I had expected. You have awesomeness ahead of you.

    Hope you are living it up at Svelte. You must try the club sandwich.....the best ever in our books. There is also an awesome kebab shop outside near the movies board !!!!
    Can't wait to "read" about the new arrivals soon.
    Best Wishes

    Great to hear you are settling into Svelte, kind of makes me miss the place. I second Gem on the club sandwich!

    Godspeed! We stayed at the Svelte for our first visit. Nothing can beat the convenience of being attached to a mega-mall. Enjoy all of the fantastic blessings to come fast and furious in the coming days/weeks.
