Sitting in an internet cafe arrangement just one mile from the Taj Mahal, we've finally made it to India and are out exploring. The trip so far has had a couple of unexpected adventures to adjust and adapt to. Flight cancelled from Copenhagen to Delhi got us a lovely room at the airlines expence in the beautiful Hilton Copenhagen Airport. The room looked like it was torn from a page of the Ikea catalog. Very modern design with everything perfectly complimenting and accenting each other.

Got to Delhi on Monday morning at 9:15 am, then the fun began. We found out that hassels are sort of the way of doing buisness in the city. Thought we had arranged good accomodation and transportation to such, then got diverted to a travel agency and further diverted to a more expensive room. Too hot, tired and bothered to fight it we went with it then chaged hotels the next day for a room one third the price and 3 times as nice.

While in Delhi we spent most of our time either sleeping, beating the heat or hasselling with the agent. We did get out on a tour of the city yesterday. Saw the major sites, passed on a few. Most interested in Ghandi museum and Ba'hai Temple. Loved the temple, a huge white marble structure shaped like a Lotus blossum. Sat inside and meditated in the amazing interior space. Took many pictures.

Left today for Agra. Will see the Taj Mahal tomorrow morning, then shopping in afternoon and off to the train station in the evening to catch a night train to the holy city of Varanasi (Benares).
