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

Pakistan Embassy and Last Day

The Pakistan Embassy, have finally decided that I can go into Pakistan; after I secured a letter from a 'reputable' travel agency confirming I was 'booked' on a tour. Thanks to Explore Pakistan. Spent the rest of the day wondering around London with Jen, we went to Maxwells - She ate alot of cheese! Flying tomz for Delhi, very excited!

Pakistani Embassy determined to sabotage my plans

The pakistani embassy is currently trying to insist that I have a pre booked tour of the country to allow me to get a visa. This is seriously expensive, so I won't be doing that...Might have to fly into China earlier than anticipated.

The Blog is Created

My first ever blog, from the Warwick library whilst visiting Jen...

Fly out to Delhi June 29th, watch this space...
