As soon as we stepped outside the airport we realised that it wasnt what we expected in India as it was outrageously humid and hot. As we got onto the bus this weird man approached us 'like a hungry wolf stalking an injured deer'....!!!. The man only wanted to help us with our bags and maybe try steal one of them too - we soon had him shoed away .
As we where driven through the vast sprawling urban expanse known as Dehli, all the men were wearing shirts and I could not see a woman on her own in the streets. We went to a sikh temple for morning prayer which was interesting because we had to walk through a densely populated kitchen where we had to walk through a puddle of grease which wasnt good because we didnt have any shoes on or socks !!!!!!!
The next temple we came across was a Hindu one. In this temple there were many german war signs or what we thought they were however the guide explained that they had been there since 8000 years ago and were adopted by Hitler but the sign was a mirror image of that used by the Germans ....the Hindu meaning was actually very peaceful....
When we got back from our daily excursions to the temples we had two hours to relax and try to get over our jet-lag, everyone went in the pool who wanted to have a frolock in the pool and cool off.
Anyway, today has been a long hard strenous sometimes painful day but we managed as a team to overcome the odds and beat the Gods at their own game !!
