J: We got the train to Old Delhi, it was interesting to see a group of Indians in the station that clearly hadn't seen an escalator before, the front guy was like someone with stage fright on a bungee jump, I tried to encourage him on but he wouldn't go so we skipped past him, I think someone pushed him on in the end. We then went to the Red Fort, a massive place and the history there was incredible! It had been taken over and pillaged so much it was like a shell of its former glory. You could imagine what it would have been like through the audio guide. It would of been full of gold and jewels, although apparently the biggest diamond in the Crown Jewels in England was borrowed (stolen) from this place. We then visited the largest mosque in India - it was huge.... I expected more than just a big empty space. The floor was burning hot and as you have to take you shoes off as a mark of respect, everyone was trying to keep to the thin carpet path laid out. In the middle was a pool of water, most people (including Sam) washed there feet in it, others drank it! Near our hostel we ate in a local place, it was like a garage really, the most basic of tables and chairs that you probably wouldn't have in your garden, but the nann breads and curry was amazing.

S: Next we went to the Humayun's tomb. Which is the tomb of the second emperor of the Mungals. It was beautifully decorated and housed 100 dead people in all. Oh and even the Emperor's Barber got a massive separate tomb. Pays to know the right people in life. Afterwards we visited Ghandi's house, I think it's safe to say if you were to miss this, you wouldn't be disappointed. It wasn't our cup of tea but it's always good to visit these places. We walked through some rather posh streets, and ended up at the national museum. We had a map that wasn't correct to the actual layout of the museum. It was more like a decorative maze, but we did manage to see everything in the museum. We started to head back to the hotel room, and ended up taking the metro here. It was brilliant, no hassle and reminded us of a cleaner London Underground.

J: We found some great street food around New Delhi, we spent 60p on omelettes and dumplings one night, and spent £6 on beer and got merry! In all Delhi was a nice place to visit, busy but enjoyable.

S: I do have to share with you all, James slipped not once but twice down some stairs in our hostel!! No beer involved and he's absolutely fine but it was quite amusing to watch lol.

J: I don't know if I exactly fell.... I just slid down them quickly with little control lol.
