India Gate New Delhi

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 …

India -day 1 - New Delhi
What an amazing day! Arrived in to the airport an hour late at 04:10. When we came to immigration, we were faced with our first barrage of people. There were thousands of people waiting to go through!

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 …

On our last day in Thailand, the 1st, we posted home 5kg of luggage which only cost £30. After we walked to the Grand Palace, but the very high wall meant we couldn't see a thing. On the green infront of the Palace was a concert with many ladyboy dancers, but it was far too humid that we had to stay inside for the day! In the evening we had our …

At some point whilst travelling in India you are bound to come across the saying "Same Same". A call frequently used by merchants trying to sell you something and referring to a different product of similar value or quality. The "(But Different)" part being the sarcastic internal voice of the traveler, in full knowledge that the chances of the …

Då var första dagen i Indien till ända med en viss försening på bloggen. Vi skyller på tidskillnaden. Vi landade i New Delhi klockan 7 på morgonen indisk tid och for direkt till vårat hotell Kuldeep Guest House. Det var knappt att chaufören hittade dit men när han väl hade hittat till rätt gränd att gå in i så fick vi våra väskor och gick efter en …

We made good time coming back - about 2-1/2 hours. So we had time to do some sightseeing. However, with Holi day, traffic was blocked in the city on some roads. Therefore, we did some drive by sightseeing on the India Gate & Parliament.

Then we had lunch at the Oberoi.

So I arrived in Delhi on Thursday 3 Nov 2011, the flight was great, no hassles, plus I managed to get a sleep after I’d had my dinner and watched a couple of movies. I had a window seat and thoroughly enjoyed the views. The first sights were in the morning of the mountains in Afghanistan near Kabul, on the way toward India. I could make out …
