March 10, 2015

So first blog from India.

We arrived yesterday lunch time, taking the night flight, where virgin looked after us well, but it was hard to get quality sleep in economy!

We were met at the airport and joined team Kazakhstan on the bus ride to our hotel in Noida.

We were checked into JP hotel, which was comfortable with good hot showers. We did a bit of exploring in the afternoon and due to Elie from Lebanon got sucked into celebrating an indian wedding in the street.

Dinner was in the hotel and other than beer costing 400rps it was good

This morning we needed to change hotels to the one next door, the buildings are twins, but the chaos of moving teams with lots of kit showed. We have dropped all of our kit in one room and heading out, as it was too early to get the rooms sorted out.

Next up was a trip the the univeristy where the competition is being hosted. We went to an auditorium to hear from the organising committee and introduce the teams, the list is as follows:
Germany
Great Britian
India
Iraq
Kazakhstan
Jordan
Lebanon
Oman
Pakistan
Russia
Sudan
USA

Once we got through the introductions it was time for lunch. We went to the Grand Regency hotel for a buffet lunch

Horse selection and practiced followed
