Loooong vacation
Let me start with our first day at Delhi…whew!!! one really hectic day:)
We were early at the Bangalore airport and were managed to do some time pass..
reached Delhi at about 12:45. Were at the hotel by about 1:30.
We had decided to finish visiting our relatives at Ghaziabad on this day….So….We freshen up and start off on our journey at 2:00 after getting some sweet boxes at the famous Bikenerwala near our hotel.
We had to travel for about 40 minutes in auto from Karolbagh and get down at Delhi UP border…..now…the Delhi auto wont go into UP….So we take a cycle rickshaw..and then reach my aunt’s house in 30 minutes…..
talking…eating what was made for us…..this took 1.5 hrs…which over shot our schedule by 15 minutes…
unexpected….my cousin was there and forced us to go to hi house….which was supposedly "near by"…..
We again took a cycle rickshaw and travelled for about 25 minutes to his house…
again there…..eat eat eat….had to wait there for sometime….we over shot our timelines by 1.5 hrs..
from there we had to go to Prashanth’s aunt’s house….which again they said was "near by"
no autos were ready to come….so….we walked….then took an auto till delhi border….then another cycle rickshaw in UP….this travel took us 30 minutes….
again …ate ate ate…..it was now 9:30 night….
we were stuffed with food….mostly with sooji halwa (thats what they call keasari bath)….because that was the main dish in all the three houses that we visited.
We took a cycle rikshaw to UP border….then an auto to the nearest metro station…again a 20 minute journey….
everyone said everything was nearby…..Delhi people have a different definition of what is nearby i guess…
Finally we took the metro (whcih was amazing….not any different from the one that i used in China)…
Reached Karolbagh at 10:15 PM….lost the way a little bit…managed to find the hotel finally….it was almost 11:00PM by the time we were back….whew!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
