Delhi was well...... a multitude of sins! in all honesty, both myself and dan did not enjoy it one bit!! after being hassled and led astray more times then you could shake a cow at, we made it to the tourist train ticket office. our favourite place yet! sad i know but after the heat and the dust and the smells and the beggers and the poverty and the pure money grabbers on the outside, this place was heaven. air conditioned, friendly HONEST! people, and best of all, other travellers who were all just as shit scared as us! we met 3 Londoners who had been in Delhi for two days and believe it or not were even more clueless than us about what to do!
when we got to booking our train ticket, Varanasi was completely full..... big shame! so we decided to skip ahead and go straight to agra. we spent the day mooching around the red fort in Delhi. it was really peacfull however the glares from all men women and children put me off looking around, instead i spent most of the time looking at at ground!!! i was covered up completely so i dont know why everyone was so interested. hehe Dan tolled some guy off for taking a picture of me!! that was funny.
it was such a relief to get to agra! the hotel that we are staying in cost five pounds and it is luxury. it is set back from the street where no cars can get down, in amungst the beautiful plam tree garden with a peacful cafe and all the makings of paradise! we really like it here but are going to push on to Jaipur where it is cheaper and there is more to see and do. by the way, the taj mahal is amazing! better than any book or photograph describes it!
