CRAZYJOURNEY REACHES DELHI!
Dave and his sister Layla at the Red Fort, DelhiWe had a late start today after our manic drive from Calcutta. Whilst Fintan, Rhys, Paul and Chuck went to a shopping mall in South Delhi for lunch, Dave,Caroline and Layla visited Connaught Place, Delhi’s central shopping district, only to be constantly annoyed by hawkers and scam artists. The most bizarre proposal was a man who offered Dave an ear-wash!
Deciding to escape this madness, they headed to Delhi’s Red Fort for some sight-seeing. Although it has great historial value to India and its independence from the British Raj, it's interior was unimpressive and run-down. The girls were constantly being ogled at and hounded here for photos by a mob of young Indian ‘stags’ with Dave nearly loosing the plot at times. Dave was even asked to hold a family’s baby for a photo.
Indian stags hand in hand at Delhi's Red Fort.One thing we all noticed and found very strange and unique in India so far is the way the young male friends walk around holding hands. There's nothing different about this in Indian culture and isnt out of the ordinary here at all. See photo above...
Dinner with the Foran's and Sokhi'sThat evening, Fintan and the Forans met Paul Sokhi, his dad and a friend, Mr.Johar for dinner at a lovely restaurant in a park in south Delhi.
