Arrived in Delhi at 9 AM. Then had a decent coffee and went by riksha to the Jama Masjid, an old temple in old Delhi. Jama Masjid is the biggest mosque in India and offers place for about 25.000 prayers. I went up the minarett and had a nice roundview on Delhi.

After that I bought some bananas (3 bananas for 5 Rs - 55 Rs is 1 Euro) and had a walk through the old part of Dehli.

After that I took a riksha to the new part and went there for eating something and had a coffee at Coffee Place in an airconditioned room. Perfect, as it is very hot outside.

Now I am waiting for the nighttrain which will take me to Varanasi from 6.15 PM to 7 AM. I have a booking in the sleeping-waggon with AC. So, lets see :))

Yesterday I took the nightbus from Daramsala to Delhi. It was a 13 1/2 hrs ride which was again very exciting. I was expecting getting the last sleeper-seat in the night-sleeping-bus. Instead of this I got a cabine-seat. I thought, wonderful, sitting in front and I am having a good sleep.

There have been eight people in the driver-cabine, sitting next to each other and then sleeping cross over and under each other. It was very exciting, strange and a little bit narrow… The guy next to me had his head on my head, the guy in front of me had his head on my knees and the guy right to me had a nice rest on my shoulder. I had my legs under and over some others… And it worked perfectly…

The bus did not work so well and so we had to stop twice… The first time the gear was broken - they had to repair it in the middle of the night. After a couple of hours we had a flat tire, so the tire had to get changed… :)

At around 9 AM we arrived Delhi and then I did some sightseeing…

Anyway… I like such rides… Always an adventure :)
