Rendezvous with Jake in Delhi

I'm no longer alone!

Jake and I finally met up in Delhi airport and soon we will begin our tour of northern india.

I must say, I'm pretty impressed with the subway in Delhi. Its clean, pretty high-tech, and has good coverage of the city. We headed to Connaught Place to check it out and walked to Delhi rail station to go book our tickets for our tour. After getting lost for a bit (a reoccuring theme this trip), we find a railway worker that tells us to go back to Connaught place to book our tickets at the official india tourism office. After about 1.5 hours of talking and negotiations, we book all of our travel and some hotel for the next 2 weeks. Nice.

At the travel office we agree to depart for Agra the following morning so this night is the last one in Delhi. After checking out the Red Fort, we go to Saket. Here there is a huge shopping area and behind it are a bunch of restaurants and bars. We go around enjoying our last night in Delhi and finally end up in a kareoke bar. It was pretty fun hang out there and watching people dance and sing, but this one song in particular got everyone going nuts. I mean like people were going bonkers. I'll admit, its pretty catchy.



Next up: Agra, most famously known for the Taj Mahal
