Hello! Just a quick entry to let everyone know i arrived in Delhi ok, and am settling in as well as can be expected (Ie,sweating like mad, getting over the shock of the toliet system and spending the first morning throwing up.) We had an amazing flight- Qater airways is definitely the most luxurious airm\line ive ever been on, with a screen in every seat and an amazing collection of movies and music, and weirdest of all, flight attendants who were actually polite and friendly! So it was a much more fun 10 hours than expected. Getting into Delhi at 4am was a shock- the heat even at that time is 30degrees, and the numbers of people sleeping in the streets and cows wandering in them was quite a surprise. our hostel is basic to say the least, but it has working AC and a cold shower, so thats the most important thing. despite spending the entire time so far feeling quite out of it, knackered and headachy,Delhi does seem amazing, with something interesting and new round every corner. we found a lovely park full of old tombs and temples to relax in yesterday... it seems like there are a few around which are a good place to escape from the madness and the hassle of the streets for a while. We're off to a fort, some temples and a bollywood movie today (thats if we ever leave the hotel, still all feeling very lazy.) Hope everyone is well and hope to write a bit more coherently soon, love Laura xxx
