12.05.: Old Delhi - New Delhi

Monday, May 12th, 2008

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 :))

Bought Lonely Planet and checked flight!

Thursday, April 10th, 2008

This goes fast… After getting my holidays I was on Mariahilferstrasse this evening, buying a Lonely Planet for India. Wow, more than 1000 pages.

Route: Checked my route… Thought about travelling through North-India - from New Dehli to Darjeeling. Changed it later, want to go to the beach, enjoying sun and beach next to city and country. So - the primary trip from New Dehli to Goa is still up to date.

Flight: Well, booked my flight on www.checkfelix.at - a direct-flight from Vienna to New Dehli with Austrian Airlines for around 600 EUR. Price is OK for a 7.5 hr. travel. Super… It seems to run everything how I planned. checkfelix.at seems to be a very cool platform for booking flights - booking cheap flights. Never seen so many really cheap ones and especially flights, which are so easy available…

Exciting…
