We had left Agra and were on the way to Dehli. The train journey was quick only 4 hours or so. The station was huge and even with the other million or so passengers queuing for the train or the exit, touts quickly found us enquiring about our accommodation and taxi requirements... These guys didn't have a patch on the Agra touts and we managed to shake them in minutes. The hotel we deceided to stay at "Prince Polonia" was an upmarket choice in the old bazaar disrict called Paharganj near the train station. We managed a good deal on the rickhaw that got us there for only 15Rs after a mosh pit at the prepaid booth quoted 50Rs, clearly a rip off. The prices at the Prince Polonia had been the subject of a recent price hike - nearly double what the guide book quoted so we walked around the corner and down a narrow alley to another off the main Bazaar called the Vinn Inn. This we managed to get for less than half the rate of the Prince. Happy but a bit knackered after walking around in the 40 degree heat with our packs we had a siesta before venturing out again for dinner and a few beers. Dehli we found was an easy city to enjoy! No one tried the 'Poo on your Shoe' trick (they surreptitiously flick poo on your shoe then claim to be a concerned shoe shiner and clean it of for an outrageous fee!) that had been tried on a tourists we met even though they had been wearing sandals...! The bazaar near by was great and Connaught Place (the Leister Square if Dehli) was within walking distance. We felt like the movies so stopped at a Cinema in the centre of Conaught Place and watched 'Walking Tall' - we didn't have a clue what it was about and it was the only English language movie on - I realy enjoyed it and Nik didn't, being a boys action movie and all that! We went to Dehli center early the next morning and walked through the parks there, past the India Gate to the National Museum. We wandered throught the Museum then decieded to have a guided tour - the guys accent was really hard to follow but knew his stuff and it was free! The artifacts in the musium date back nearly 5000 yrs to when the Indus Valley was first colonised by tribes migrating from the Middle East. After the museum we walked the couple of miles through pretty, shaded parks to a local crafts museum, which was futher than it looked on the map! They had loads of great stuff very cheap but we haven't the room in our packs and after the experience of the Agra post office deceided against buying any more bits. We headed back to the hotel, got a quick bite to eat before grabbing a rickshaw bullying him into putting on his meter and heading down to the bus stop to get the Airport bus 1 hr down the road. The bus driver tried to talk me into swapping my Seiko Kinetic for 200 Rs or his very nice Casio Digital with calander option but I like my Seiko. The flight left a little late around 01:40am and we said Goodbye to India, looking forward to Sri Lanka!
