So i've decided, the sights to see in Delhi are cool, but it's just the getting there that's the pain. Delhi seems to be all buses,cars, rickshaws (indian robin reliants),bikes,people, cows all mashed into one hectic city. I'm from london and i can't get used to how busy it is here. thats what it's like. But then you get to a sight, and all is fine, there's a break from the madness and all is good again.

Spent our first full day in Delhi, in New Delhi which was more organised chaos. We visited a large park which had random tombs sitting in the middle of it! Can't imagine anything like that in England! But even better that that this park had monkeys in it! I can't even begin to explain how strange it is to walk down a street and see a monkey in the tree above you! We also went over to Humayans Tomb which as you can see from the pic was very nice. Then on the second day we went to Old Delhi which is mad. First we went to the Ghandi Memorial and then went check out the Red Fort and the largest mosque in
A tomb!A tomb!A tomb!

This is just a random tomb in a park. Can you imagine something like this in England? It would get covered in graffiti and piss!
India. Both were cool, the mosque was absolutely massive! The weather here has so far been really damn hot! We did get about 10 seconds of light rain which was pure bliss!

The next morning we got on a train to Agra which was actually a much easier experience that it sounds. Everything is announed in English and the train was on time! And in the train you got free water and breakfast so that was cool as well. You don't get service like that from Midland Mainline!

So that was it for Delhi, onto Agra and the Taj Mahal!
