Delhi


AAAGGGHHH!!!!!

Arriving at Delhi Airport was like nothing else. We were lucky to be met by Nareesh who was our hero and got us to Baggages house.
Stepping out of the airport was like being thrown into a Lonely planet /Pilot Guide film.
We went to Baggage's house which is beautiful, and like a oasis, Jack and Tom are enjoying being able to walk to squash and Tennis,
Driving through Delhi is like nothing else you could imagine, a crazy mix of cows, bikes, cars, people with things on their heads and the odd elephant, all moving in several directions at once.
Toms description is the best - it's like an hour glass turned over - everything that you are used it is just messed around!
Our first experience of trying to cross the road at the Red Fort was totally wild - fortunately Baggage had sent us with a helper, or we never have made it past day 1.
For me, maybe my biggest culture shock was ending up in the mall food court having dinner before settling down to a hindi movie about soccer!
