Fri 18/5 - Mon 21/5 Not a lot to report from our weekend in Delhi. Spent most of our time in the hostel researching what we are doing next on our travels. Although we had only booked for 3 nights we ended up spending 5. The hostel was by no means a very good standard. There was work going on next door so it was covered in dust the whole time (pointless cleaning each day) the water kept running out and the food was very basic, bread and butter for breakfast and s...

Thu 17/5/12 Today Delhi just got so much better! Only a 10 minute tuk-tuk ride away from where we are staying is a shopping mall with loads of well known shops ( m&s, body shop, apple etc) a supermarket and lots of eating places ( costa coffee, tgi fridays, McDonalds etc) We went to the Hard Rock Cafe for lunch! After 3 weeks of Indian food we wanted everything on the menu!lol. We had nachos to start and I settled for steak and Cam had the 10oz beef burger! ...

Wed 16/5/12 (Today) Rohit met us at the train station when we arrived and we went for breakfast at Bangla Foods again which am sure is the McDonalds of India so don't know why the drivers take folk there!

Our hostel has free breakfast, dinner and wifi (not bad for £12 a night) so we should be happy for a few days until...

Mon 14/5/12 Train arrived on time for a change but no driver waiting for us. Thankfully claire and adam were in the same boat so we were not alone. The station was really busy and hot (we arrived at 11am). After a few walk rounds and lots of offers of taxis our guy turned up 15 mins later. Our hotel was ok, I wasn't feeling right so we decided to have a rest day, went to pizza hut for dinner as the thought of more Indian food wasn't very appealing! Cam really en...

Sat 12/5/12 Thankfully when we arrived at the train station we found our taxi straight away as we were surrounded by guys wanting us to use their taxi! It was very hot and we were tired after the long train journey so we relaxed all day. Sun 13/5/12 We had to check out of our room by 12 noon and our train wasn't until 11:30pm so we decided to visit the western temples (famous for the Kama Sutra carvings) in the afternoon to kill time, big mistake! It was 42C (...
