Delhi

Monday:

And  so, our first day in India is coming to an end. The flight was amazing! Only 7.5 hours, good food (curry of course) and comfy seats. Good start.

So we get our bags and change some money, and get a train into the city: Delhi. What a mission... Delhi is the most epic city I’ve been to and I’ve been down about 5 streets! Carrying my massively over packed bag, note to self; travel light.

Lunch was nice, met a real lovely Indian guy who took us on a great walk into nowhere.. and then dumped us at a weird tourist place to sell us tours. 3 times this has happened to us in 2 days, they seem so nice you have to follow them.

Day 2: Delhi belly is most certainly setting in, went to a 80p all you can eat Indian restaurant (I call it restaurant loosely)  great food, fiery after burn!!

Colourfully grubby and super hectic with a constant soundtrack of beeping horns – Delhi is mental.  Having felt completely overwhelmed for two days we are just beginning to feel a bit human!  It turns out trying to do anything here takes a very long time especially for new-be tourists.  We have done little but eat and wander.  The eating is good and the wandering eventful!  The last few days have been the durga (not sure spelling!)  festival – having accidentally seen an enthusiastic stage production of this festivals story we still have no idea what it is about anymore than there are boys dressed as monkeys and dancing involved!

Tonight we travel up to a city called Jammu, in the north, and transfer on to Srinagar.  We’ve heard there are mountains, lakes and beautiful sights.... so when we find out we’ll let you know.  Big love to all back home.
