DAY 96: DELHI DAY 2

Fire Bar, Delhi

We were all up early this morning to sort out our Pakistani visas, which is the next country on CRAZYJOURNEY. After queing up for 20 minutes, we were told we all needed letters of recommendation from our respective embassies in order to apply. We went our separate ways to get the letters from the Irish and Aussie embassies. When we arrived at the Irish embassy and told them about what we were doing, we were introduced to Justin Ryan, an official of the embassy who gladly gave us our letters and asked us about our plans for Paddy’s day. Delhi must be one of the only cities in the world without an Irish Pub and we were over the moon when he invited us to the Embassy’s party being held at the ambassador’s residence.

We arrived back at the Pakistani embassy in the nick of time and got our applications in and were informed that we needed to return to the embassy again the following morning to finalize the application process.
That evening, we went for drinks in Fire, one of Delhi’s nicest spots, where the ratio of guys to girls was about 20:1! We had a good laugh seeing all the Indian stags trying their luck with the 3 or 4 girls in the club!
