Delhi

Hey All,

Got in last night, got bumped to Business for the second leg which was nice. After paying the pre-paid taxi ticket from the airport (To avoid touts taking you elsewhere). Some cowboy taxi driver tried to take me to his mates travel agent, even pretending i was was so lucky it was open at 5.30 am. I refused to enter and insisted he took me where i was staying only for him to then stop and start shouting that it was not possible to go there, and that it was full. I gave up and got out and walked the rest of the way. I crashed out for what seemed ages but turned out to be 3 hours. My first attempt at seeing the sights by foot was just a pain in the arse with people constantly tying to talk to me. One chap managed to convince me he was showing me the right way to where i intended to go, but it soon became clear he was trying to take me to some shop. Told him to jog on, as it started to tip it down and i got soaked. I've dried off and am about to attempt to get a train ticket East, i'm thinking Varanasi, but i'll see what's available as there is some disruption at the moment with the trains, due to a crash yesterday. Keep you posted, x
