Day 146 (Thurs 30 Nov) - Delhi

Arrived at Pahar Ganj, New Delhi at about 8.30am. It was great to be back on known territory. We stormed past the rickshaw drivers with our bags and headed in search for a hotel. Quite easily we found Airlines Hotel which was on the main Qutab Marg road. The hotel seemed clean and for Rs850 (10 quid) a night, quite reasonable for the centre of Delhi.

Went to the rooftop restaurant at the Shelton's hotel. The service is so slow and you don't know when stuff is going to turn up but the food is good and it was a good place to relax and have breakfast.

Delhi is a lot cooler than the last time we were here, well suppose it was August!

Good job Jo has still held on to her Darjeeling shawl, even though Sarb tried to persude her to part with it as she had trouble fitting everything in her ever growing rucksack.

Didn't get up to much today, Jo chilled in the room watching silly Christmas movies on TV whilst Sarb went to find a beloved internet cafe.

Went back to the roof restaurant at the Shelton Hotel for dinner. Really pigged out.

Couldn't decide what to eat so just ordered everything - momos, pasta, pizza.

When we got back to our hotel it was full of insects. Luckily we had a trusty insect killer with us and zapped them before we went to bed.
