Today we were given a car with a driver to take us round New Delhi and see the tourist sights. The first place we went was the houses of parliment and the presidents house. We drove down the road and took pictures and just as we were leaving the road was blocked and we were made to wait as the president drove past surrounded by four black cars on his way to a meeting! Didnt see his face but managed to get a blurry picture of the cars! Right across the road from t...

It was quite busy inside so we didn'...

Whilst at Amber Fort we bumped into Antonia and she came and joined our tour whilst we were there. After amber fort we said bye to Antonia...

The staff were really friendly as well and once we'd settled in we went out with Mahesh (our driver) to see the Lakshmi Narayan temple. This was a Hindi temple made completely from marble with one big statue as the main focus. After walking around we sat on the floor in...
