Delhi

So WOW eventually we reached Delhi! Our first flight was cancelled due to a fuel problem and so we had to sleep on the plane as there was no hotels for us what a incredably noisy and uncomfortable night but hey its over now, in the morning we got of the plane went through arrivals and then had to go to departures and check in all over again and catch the 13.30 flight to Delhi but we did get a free breakfast so not all that bad. We were so tired but eventually at 4.20am we landed in Delhi got our currency and booked a taxi to Gila's. This taxi ride was immense, the driver weaving in and out of cars, running through red lights and beeping at other drivers. When we got to the area where Gila lived the taxi driver didn't quite know where her block of buildings were so he spent about 30 mins asking random people on the street where her house is, but everyone was helpful. We stopped to ask one guy and there was some cows just chilling out on the side of the road. Brilliant. Eventually we got to Gila's at 6 am and have had a few hours sleep and will probs have a little look around this area and then tonight we are going to hear some music with Gila.

Thank god for Gila otherwise Delhi would be more crazy than it already is. This place is amazing, Gila's house is in a area of Delhi called Kalhaji and is quite near the lotus temple, so may have a looksee today!
