Hannah and Liv's Travel Update
This morning we woke up after a rather dodgy night, still very tired and Hannah still feeling a little weak, but we were due to move onto a new hotel to start our tour!
We finished packing and left Hotel Ajanta at about 10.30am and finally arrived at Hotel Ashu Palace about an hour later after our driver got lost! We had a lovely room with a window, such a treat! We met our tour guide, Manu at about midday and the other 13 people on tour, and although they were all a lot older than us we all fitted straight in and they were all lovely. They were from all corners of the world, and had all travelled extensively too which was handy as they all had tips for us for our future travels in other countries. We then spent the afternoon relaxing in the hotel, before meeting everyone again at 7 for a meal at a lovely local thali restaurant where we tried our first lassi (although salt version so not that tasty!) and first portion of gulab jamin, an indian sweet we are now addicted to! Apparently they come in ready-to-make packs which we are considering buying a great stash of! We wandered around the streets of Karol Bagh and actually felt safe for the first time at night which was relieving, just starting to find our feet in india. We fell asleep watching good old Fashion tv which is very popular in india, and to the sound of some religious festival going on right underneath our room, when they started chanting to the deafening drums we actually found we drifted off to a good nights sleep!
