I’m in Delhi!

I like this place more than I thought I would. Actually, I didn’t think I would like it much at all. It’s nice to be somewhere with infrastructure again. There are roads and a metro here. I do miss Nepal, but there’s a lot to see and do in Delhi.

I went to the Red Fort today. I walked around for what felt like ages. It was neat. It was also very hot – in the upper 90s and sunny. I couldn’t find anywhere to buy water which wasn’t ideal, but I did enjoy visiting the site.

After the Red Fort I went to an area with a bunch of hotels and looked around for one. I found a few that would work ok. They’re really not that expensive either. The one I’d most likely go with is around 1400 rupees/night which is roughly $22. I didn’t love the area though. And I’ve also decided it’s pretty nice staying with Ramesh. We made plans for tomorrow night so I don’t think I’ll move to a hotel then. If I did I’d have to move my stuff during the day and I have plans to come back here tomorrow night. Maybe I’ll stay here tonight and then make train reservations for the next day. I’m not really sure where I’ll go, though. There’s also a lot more stuff to see around Delhi so I’m not in a big hurry to leave. I think I’ll do a day trip to the Taj Mahal, but I could maybe stay in Agra one night while making my way around. We’ll see.
