Yesterday we had a long day touring the many sites of New and Old Delhi. We went to the official tourist office, as recommended by the lonely planet (approx. 1,000 unofficial) where we hired a car and guide for 5 days and booked our train tickets to Nepal, all for £180 – bargain.
Sam and I are not big on tourist sites and this long day definitely confirmed it – the expense, queues, security, no photos at many etc. etc. – at least we made the effort and have some half decent pictures in which to remember India. I was going to write the names and a description of each site, but frankly they are not really that interesting.
Hopefully we will get to see rural India on our tour of the golden triangle (Delhi, Jaipur and Agra).

Oooh I like Sam’s patchwork bag!! (Typical woman, not a mention of the scenery).
Davey, did that last picture curry give you the dreaded next day?
Darren will like the look of that curry…although maybe a touch more coriander is needed !
I know what you mean about the tourist destinations but there will be some you just can’t miss out on…they have to attract tourists for some reason.
Lovely photos of the architecture. Well done !
Wow, that curry just looks great. So you on the pepsi….where is the beer?
