Day One

Day One now completed! It's very noisy - lots of beeping from the cars! We went to the British High Commission today, and travelled using the Metro. It was a lot like the London Underground, but with more security. We had our bags checked and went through a metal detector gate. It was lovely at the High Commission, and very quiet. Like an oasis. We had a nice Costa coffee at the coffee bar there, then it was off to the Red Fort. We met our rickshaw drivers who took us on a tour of Old Delhi. We saw the spice market, the pickle market, the sari market and lots of shops selling beautiful things. We had a snack which was a bit like a deep fried sugar coated pretzel.

After our tour, we took a tuc tuc to Connaught Place. There are some very nice shops there. We had our tea, and then came back to the Hotel. Now it is off to bed early as we are up tomorrow at 4.45am to catch the train to Agra!
