Hey guys,
It's day one and we're in Delhi. Arrived at about 10.30 local time, the weathers in the twenties so its not too hot. Had a hair-raising tax ride from the airport to the hotel, which will probably be the first of many. On the way we saw kids begging on the side of the road- onto our window in the taxi, the whole Delhi atmosphere is a bit of a shock to the system. It's definetly interesting, not sure about nice though. We also drove past a massive cow on the street.
The hotel is tucked away in a back street behind a bazaar, it all looks the same so can be a bit of maze, which we found out when we returned from our walk into the centre to see that we couldn't find our hotel (we found it in the end!) The room is quite smal but wil do! no insects or animals lurking around yey! However, im dredding the shower as the toilet is part of the shower, so EVERYTHING will be wet like a WET ROOM! mite just not shower...
the place smells nice sometimes- like insense but then just as ur taking in that loverly smell u get a big waft of POO in to ur nose!! AHAHHAH its disgusting. then you realise its because there are sum random urinals n toilets beside where u are walking.
however the people are very nice and helpful, one told us where Pizza Hut is. and so we went, and it was GOOOD. others do try and get you to go to their shop, bit like egypt n turkey but they arnt as bad as those.
we havent done much today- walked around the area our hotel is- which is just full of shops, and went for food. Just really tired at the mo because we didnt get much sleep on the plane.
Tomorrow we are planning to see loads of Old Delhi- Red Fort, Jama Masjid, Ghandi Stuff, and random other sites probs. Plus more tramps begging.
P.S HOW AMAZING WAS THE PLANE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it felt like we were first class lol, way better tan ryan air a tell thee. we had an individual tv where you could choose what you wanted to watch- music, films, documentarys, etc and you could also message other people on the plane! me and tom did a bit of messaging but there wasnt much point as we were sat next to each other! the seats reclined more than normal and were cosy, and we were given pillows, blankets, and food all inclusive!
anyway we are off now to probs get summat to munch on then plan stuff for tomorrows day trip then go sleep!]
BYEEEEEE xxxx
