"A little Bollywood at India Gate"
Hello there - thought we had better start with this blog before everyone thinks we have disappeared and you all forget about us!
Day 1 0f lots!
We arrived at 4.00am on Friday to the sights and sounds of Delhi!!Be assured there are many sights and sounds in Delhi - people everywhere, horns everywhere, lots of smells, lots of staring and the occassional cow!
Combine this with a little jet lag, 35 deg heat and a few curries and it won't be a surprise to know that it is 8.00pm on Saturday and we are about to fall asleep - we are shattered! But we are having a ball, love India and are looking forward to the next couple of months.
We are planning to head off to the desert and Rajasthan tomorrow - that is if we manage to find out the train times and buy tickets, which may not be as easy as you may think. So in the next few days once we have recovered from the 10 hour train journey we are hoping to go on a camel safari and spend the night under the stars in the desert.
We have also turned into total back packers very quickly and if it costs more than a couple of hundred rupees (i.e. £3) its too much! Although,we are still staying in the fancy hotel we pre-booked so a few adjustments still lie ahead!
So first impressions - this travelling lark is v good (still can't believe we are going to be doing this for 9 months),india is full of colour, the people are friendly (even though they want you to spend, spend, spend) and the food is fantastic (although we have learned that if you only eat curry you sweat curry)......on that note......
Mr & Mrs Duff,
