2nd Day in INDIA

We're about to begin our 2nd day in India after an amazing buffet breakfast at our hotel, The Connaught. Yesterday was so much fun, starting off with us hiring 2 three wheeler vehicles which took us for a one hour ride through Delhi's busy streets. What a thrill and a scare - horns beeping constantly, cars going in every direction, scooters darting in and out, people dashing across streets and the mayhem was glorious. Although our mission was to get beer and water our drivers first dropped us off at several shops hoping we would buy. They get a commission. We resisted and bought only water & beer [Kingfisher & very good]. After a mid-morning beer break at the hotel we set off on foot to experience the Delhi bazaars. Fascinating and mind boggling to say the least. We found a maze of shops [800] underground where Damon bought shoes, Nicole bought a purse and Rupee bought slippers. I resisted. Damon learned how to swear in Hindi to ward off a persistent beggar. Rupee got scammed into getting his shoes cleaned. It was an adventure more interesting than the bazaars of Mexico. Last night we wandered off to find a restaurant following the terrible directions given to us by the hotel. The traffic was a nightmare, the streets it only by car headlights and people everywhere. We never did find the restaurant but ended up at TGIF - for good old American food. So today we're off on a tour of Old Delhi. Stayed tuned
