Hello everyone!!
Here we are in Delhi, crazy Indian capital city, where chaos rules!!!
Arrived this morning and were already hassled to buy stuff, tours, things!!
People are usually very nice, the porters took us to our room and just stared at us for a minute or two before our tired brains could realise... a tip!! they want a tip!!
Our hotel is ok, has comfortable beds, hot water & toilet paper is provided! No sign of the mosquitoe's yet but I reckon we'll meet them once we get out to the country side - we know they are waiting to bite us!
Current plan is to head west to Rajastan for a week or two,hopingto find the backpacker hang outs tomorrow to see what other westerners do to get about. Our hotel wanted to organise one for us (22 days) at about 400 pounds each - we said no thank you very much - eventually!
The sales people are very persuasive, and difficult to get out of!! So difficult in fact that after explaining to us about the family that hand made a silk rug & the good feelings in the heart it brings we did buy one for 8,000 rupee! yikes! lets not do that every day or week/month even! or we'll be eating patties & rice & nothing else for the next 6 months!
So, for a first day, it feels a bit (very) crazy, and we need to make sure we know when we want to spend money, and when we just need to say: Thanks, but no thanks and walk away! That will come soon i'm sure!
Time for some alcohol!
Namaste!!
Take care all and do send us little updates of yourselves!
Love from the Adventurers In India

Je viens d'essayer d'envoyer un message mais j'ai échoué. Bref c'était pour dire que les avertissements ne servent à rien, il n'y a que l'expérience qui enseigne...Un tapis volant alors Hum...Better be strict in the future or god knows what you 'll be coming back with.
Big hug and thank you for your message.
I will not keep you awake anylonger.
No snow here but who cares...Surely not you.
