Today I had breakfast at ‘Sam’s Café’ (very Indian…lol). I had Onion Rings and Chips and it took AGES to come! The onion rings were very nice; they were battered in the same sort of batter that onion bhaji come in back home. I had planned to go to India Gate but the Auto Rickshaw manContinueContinue reading “India: India Gate”

India: Red Fort & Old Delhi
I tried the Metro today. It cost a mere 12 Rupees (roughly about 15 pence I think), was air conditioned and very easy to use! The Metro in Delhi has special carriages for women only. It’s easy to notice that those carriages are pink. Upon getting off of the Metro, I was immediately besieged byContinueContinue reading “India: Red Fort & Old Delhi”

Overall I was very happy about everything, even though I’d filled in all of the forms wrong and generally mucked it up! The very lovely and helpfulContinueContinue reading “Thunderbirds are gooooo!”
We’re off to see the wizard
…or the man in the Visa office Last week I filled in the online forms to register for the Visa application process in order to get into India. Exciting! On the website it doesn’t really make it clear what to do once you’ve actually filled everything in, what to do with your passport and soContinueContinue reading “We’re off to see the wizard”
