Day 1+2 Arrival in India




What a welcome we had... Within an hour of arriving in Delhi we found ourselves with this view...



or rather, this view...


Half way to our hotel our taxi driver tells us he doesn't actually know how to get to the hotel and will take us to a tourist information centre to find out. So Linda rings the hotel to get directions - "What's the reservation number?" ... "Oh sorry Miss we had a large group booking so we decided to give them your room too, we've cancelled your reservation" ... "Don't worry, we will refund your deposit"

Good start to our trip - stranded in Delhi where half the hotels are closed due to it being festival season, and all the men keep trying to sell you holiday packages 5 times what we were originally going to pay. Do not panic though, we have found ourselves a nice hotel to stay in :)

Dinner is served :)
Our first meal was amazing and felt quite authentic, mainly because neither of us could pronounce any of the names on the menu and have no idea what we ate :) but it tasted good and we weren't ill afterwards so a big thumbs up!

All in all, an interesting start to our adventure.
