In Delhi.

Friday, May 2nd, 2008

Arrived in Delhi. Flight took only 7 hours, there is a time-difference about 3 1/2 hrs. The flight was very good, I had a window-seat and a free seat next to me. Check-in in Delhi airport was good, and luggage is also here. It seems to be quite hot and the first things I arranged was getting some bottles of water.

The taxidriver was waiting with a shield at the airport and then driving 32 km into the city. Big motorways, big trollies and overtaking everywhere: left, right, middle… “In India everything is possible”‘ the driver said. OK. Driving was good, I felt secure.

Arived in good condition in the city near the station. The close, we got to the “Hotel RAK International”, something like a budge-hostel, the more animals and cows have been on the streets. OK.

Room was reserved and everything went well. Looking forward visiting Delhi and the rest. Maybe I am changing my tour a little bit. BEst, everything is OK.

Booked a room in Delhi for the first night(s)

Wednesday, April 30th, 2008

So, just booked a room in New Delhi for the first night(s) at Hotel Raki International in the area of Paharganj, where most of backpackers are staying. The idea is here getting in contact with other guys and checking posssibilities and latest travelling-news.

Lonely Planet is saying, that rooms are having windows - important, at least for the first night(s). Rooms is 300 Rs/Night, which is around 5 to 6 EUR.

I am arriving late at night - at 00.20 with Austrian Airlines, so a taxi will catch me up at the airport with a shield with my name on it.  Funny…
