What a start to our travels! Delhi has been a mixture of good and bad from the moment we arrived.

The journey from the airport was an experience - cows in the middle of busy roads, children jumping out in front of cars trying to sell things, women wearing sahris riding side saddle on the backs of moterbikes - and the road system - !!!! - what road system !!!

The 'main bazaar' where our little hostel was situated is full of little stalls and rickshaws/moterbikes whizzing up and down. Dogs everywhere and people begging. It is quite smelly but you have to embrace it for what it is.

Today we took a rickshaw ride around New Delhi - an English guide jumped in and showed us round, but tried to rip us off at the end for his services! We were firm and managed to get away from him. Saw lots of beautiful temples on the way.

Now tired and hungry we are back at our hostel. After a good nights sleep hopefully tomorrow will run smoother. But then again - this is Delhi! Lol. Photos to follow
