  • The Biggest Mosque in India!!

    An amazing, huge mosque, made of red sandstone and white marble. The decorations were extremely beautiful. A little man in a cubby-hole right in the corner showed us what was apparently the foot print of Mohammed and one of his hairs. Next time I go I definitely want to climb the tower!

    Delhi - ein paar Millionen mehr oder we*****...

    Jetzt bin ich also wieder in Delhi! Vor genau 4 Wochen war ich schon einmal hier - für ein paar Stunden, bevor es weiter ging Richtung Süden. Mitten in der Nacht. Jetzt komme ich wieder mitten in der Nacht an - aber irgendwie sieht's jetzt alles ganz anders aus. Den schlimmen Gestank und den dicken Smog, der mir letztes Mal so unangenehm …

    Hello to everyone back in England!

    Although I haven't been in India for long I am already loving it!

    The roads here are crazy! The first thing I could here when I walked out of the airport were the car horns. They are beeping their horns every 2 minutes it seems! And no one stays in the lanes, where there are supposed to be 3 …

    A Day in Delhi

    33 photos

    (S) One very positive side effect of being completely screwed up on what time it is: you get up miraculously early. This is a big deal for us. We are used to staying in campgrounds and not sleeping all that well, thus we end of sleeping in. And starting our day around 10:30. Not in India! We were up and at breakfast at 7:30 in the morning. And what …

    Well, where do I begin.

    India is sure a place that can turn you upside down, and this means a lot if you can say that after a single day.

    After arriving yesterday night I basically told myself to accept everything and try to be openminded, since it's another culture and that's why I'm here to begin with. So it began with a crazy …

    Outrageous, Chaotic and Mad Delhi

    Despite many travelers arriving in Delhi and moving on as soon as possible, we decided to give Delhi a chance. When we looked past the fog, urine, rubbish, and beggars...we saw a truly spectacular city of extremes. From day one we made friends with the locals, albeit a bit uncertain who to trust.

    Our days were spent wandering the city, …
