So, after a nightmare day yesterday which basically involved us travelling back and forth to travel agents because we couldn't get away from the touts, we were really really fed up!! However today has been fab!
We went on a little tour of Delhi with our driver Pratab (who looked like Mr. Myagi from karate kid!!) and saw some of the main sights of Delhi including the Red Fort, The Parliament buildings and President's house, Humayun's Tomb and the Ghandi museum. We also went to the Bitna temple which is the biggest temple in India.
The people keep asking us where we're from and the main things they say when we say "England" are "fish and chips", "lovely jubbly" and "Flintoff". Also we're hassled all the time by people trying to sell us things and telling us the wrong information. We tried to buy train tickets yesterday in the station and a man physically wouldn't let us past to go to the tourist desk and was trying to send us to a travel agency! We were very stressed but we're getting better at saying NO!!
Tomorrow we are catching an early train to Agra to see the Taj Mahal so it's goodbye to Delhi! We're not sure if we'll come here again but it has definately been interesting!!!
P.S. We had to use an "Indian" toilet for the first time today and we forgot to take toliet roll with us...not very nice!
