8 degrees, that’s what the troops and I woke up to in our little fortress of a bed and breakfast. Television, a restaurant downstairs and safes that refuse to lock properly, we’re certainly ready for a full day of adventure and intrigue in the old city of Delhi.<\/p>\n

Yesterday’s flight was one of the roughest of the trip (it was nothing for Matt & Phill though), landing with a bump and a full reverse of planes engines. Our taxi driver was ready for us as we left the terminal, a stocky man by the name of Rakesh, who drove us through the bustling streets around Delhi, giving us a few pointers and local information. <\/p>\n

However we were probably more focused on the organised chaos that was the driving standards of the locals; they practically kept driving whether there was space in front or not. To their credit they must have brilliant spacial awareness since I didn’t see a single crash on our way in, even as the streets narrowed to little alleys (very much like Italy).<\/p>\n

If anyone is considering driving over here, Rakesh did give us three pointers for survival:
\n1. Have good brakes
\n2. Have a good horn
\n3. Pray that you have good luck<\/p>\n

I think it’s safe to say we were grateful that he knew what he was doing!
\nAnyway, we’re off to the ancient Red Fort in central Delhi for a bit of history \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
