Delhi, Bhutan, Nepal & Dubai Journey Day One: A Day In Delhi, 19 March 2000

Delhi Imperial Hotel – with doormen, our guide Harmahindra Singh and driver Gurcharin Singh

We didn’t hang around in those days – our itineraries were not for the faint-hearted. We landed at midday, dropped our bags and did a quick change at the Delhi Imperial, then went out touring for the afternoon. That was our Delhi slot and by gosh we filled it.

Arrived on time (early). Picked up by Harmahindra Singh and Gurcharin Singh. Did a quick change and then went off touring with them.

Went to see sites – New Delhi including presidents house, India Gate and Parliament House. Old Delhi (through Lahore Gate) to see Jamamasjid Mosque, Red Fort & bazaars in Old Delhi. Tried but found nothing to buy.

Back to hotel for wash/rest and then mild Indian meal of Tikka and kebabs and daal and rice. Early night.

If you want to see all the pictures from this day, they are on the following Flickr album – Nos 1 to 20 – just click the pic.
