I arrived in Delhi at 11 and and Marlies's plane arrived at 1.00 after being a delayed an hour, I waited in arrivals - it's a bit like Dubai as it's so clean and new it's just smaller. From there we got the metro - so impressed! We thought maybe we had got the wrong country as Dheli is so overpopulated and yet only a dozen of them were using the metro.

Coming out the metro we met an auto rickshaw driver who became our chauffeur for the day. He took us to a tourist office where we booked our train tickets for the week; for 190 euros we got New Delhi >> Jaipur >> Agra >> Varanassi >> Delhi with all the accomodation and breakfast included. It was the budget option so we were pleasantly surprised when our first hotel was 3 star! Our chauffeur then took us to Connaught Place (the central busy bit) I was expecting it to be rammed from what people had told us but it wasn't even half as busy as Birmingham, may have just been because it's a Sunday. We met an Indian guy, Altaf, who wanted to have dinner with us, he was a proffesional model so we didn't mind too much.
