Delhi, india

We have safely arrived in Delhi, India and have spent the last couple of days staying with friends and touring around the city. India is very unlike what we had imagined and has been a huge change from Tanzania - it feels very strange having constant hot water and electricity!! The traffic here is just as crazy - if not, more so, than in Morogoro. People ignore lanes and traffic cones and instead drive anywhere they want and squeezing into any gap they want to. We have been kindly escorted to see many of the attractions in Delhi by the family we are stayng with. We have been very busy since landing on Wednesday. About that, some sneaky person in Qatar managed to upgrade our seats so that we got to sit first class! Our favourite sights so far have been Humayun's tomb which we saw at sunset last night and the Lotus temple, or Bahai House Of Worship, which is a temple in the shape of a lotus flower with 27 marble petals and nine pools around it's edge. We've also had a lot of really delicious Indian food and have been stuffed at every meal time! We plan on spending the next couple of days in Delhi and will then head up to the Pakistan Border to see Amritsar and the Golden Temple.
