New Delhi

After a long 13 hours bus trip from Dharamshala, I check into the Potala hotel that I booked when I first reach Manuju Latika with TBC.

I took a shower and went to bed immediately. I woke up around 11am, had my breakfast, not knowing how to begin the day. I asked the reception for the map of Delhi. Thankfully, the map distruibuted for the tourist in the airport recommend a few places to go. I circled a few places; Red Fort, Bhai Lotus temple, Iskcon temple & Japathu market is my Itinerary for the day. I asked a few travel agencies and the price for booking a taxi that can show me around in Delhi for 8 hours cost 800 Rupees. A decent price that I can afford, since there is nothing left to do in Manuju Latika the whole day.

I started my tour in noon with my driver.My driver told me there is no parking in Red fort thus he suggested I took a rickshaw. The idea of someone cycling me is tortuous. I can't help but to think that I might be too fat on a rickshaw but my driver sure think otherwise. Riding the rickshaw on an heavy traffic road is exhilarating! I even saw a number of students taking the rickshaws to school! It's such an adventure!

Delhi isn't as bad as some of us have think. Yes, the traffic is heavily polluted and Poverty is visible. If you spend time to do some research, you should able to enjoy even on the roadside.

One thing that annoys me is my driver keep insisting me to visit one of the local handicraft shop which I have absolutely no interest. Finally, my reluntancy won over his determination thus no partonizng is done ;)
