Entry 1 of 25 | show all | print this entry

Well i arrived into Delhi 3 hours late as they found a waterleak on the plane just before take off and had to fix it, so we sat on the runway at Heathrow for 3 hours.  It was a very long journey and i arrived at the hotel exhausted.  They showed me straight to my room and i imediately fell asleep.

I emerged from my room just after lunch and the hotel arranged a sight seeing trip for that afternoon and the following morning. 
I saw all the sights of Delhi, the India Gate, which is very impresssive, the Red Fort which is very red, and the solar observatory which was very sunny!  There was alot to take in and i was very gratefull to be back in the hotel that night.  I went early for dinner and then crashed in my room, sleeping very well.

The next day sight seeing was pretty similar, we was the parliment buildings, a big tower in some ruins (which i can't remember the name off right now) and Gandi's memorial.

Again it was a very tiring day, but i managed to get out of the hotel on my own that night and found myself walking along the street with most of Delhi!  It was Delhi Shopping day and everyone was out buying from street vendors and looking at the expensive clothes in the shops.  It was very excting, but i didn't venture far incase i got caught up and couldn't find my way back to the hotel.

The next day i doned by back pack (my is that heavy) and walked the 2 blocks to the next hotel where i was to meet with the Intrepid trip taking me to the Taj Mahal among other places. 

The story continues in the next entry.
