So what do we think of Delhi so far?

Jackie here - and I'm not so impressed. The hotel is a building site and the constant drilling and hammering is making my head hurt. The room is basic and not that clean, but for two nights it'll do. The rain is a bit of a blessing, as it's keeping the temperature down and the streets are less crowded than they might be. Pahar Ganj is an experience - we're off to buy Roisin some new boots as both the children have managed to grow a full shoe size in less than a month and their new Zamberlan boots no longer fit them. So Tevo now inherits Roisin's, and we'll have to try and find something suitable down at the market. Lee is just trying to book us some flights to Leh now. Many flights have been cancelled in and out of Delhi due to high winds and rain. The roads to Leh and even Himachel Pradesh are closed due to flooding and mudslides. We may end up being stuck in Leh for a while, but it's got to be better than here. Fingers crossed, we fly out first thing. Love & peace J x

Tevo here - I am having a very nice time in hotel but when i am asleep there's a loud banging. There is a fancy shrine outside the hotel and it had a chandelier and a television showing fancy dancing. We went to a cafe and you could choose your own food and it was delicious.

Roisin here - I am having an exciting time here in Delhi. It is quite stinky and the hotel has lots of fans. It is quite hot outside even though it is raining. Last night, I saw a shrine outside the hotel and it had a statue of Ganesh. He had an elephant head and lots of fancy shiny things and flowers around him. There were two chandeliers and pretty lights. We went to a cafe which had spicy food. It was quite nice. We have been in a few taxis because of the rain. We went in an auto rickshaw which is like a tuk-tuk.

Lee here - jetlag's getting the better of me. Looking forward to arriving in the Himalaya and a less frantic pace of life.
