I arrived in the plush new international airport in Delhi earlier today at the beginning of my 2 week recce around northern India. The new airport express into central Delhi is amazing and I would recommend it to anyone! Cheaper than taxis and avoiding the crazy congestion of the roads, the air-con is a welcomed respite from the heat that hits you as you step outside! My cool, calm and relaxing shuttle took me straight into the madness that is the main central railway station, where an Indian family were creating a bottle neck at escalators as they had evidently never been on them before and were clearly terrified to take that first step!
After shuffling through the crowded streets where I was bombarded at every corner by the sights, sounds and smells of the Delhi traffic, I made it to my hostel in Pahargani covered in sweat and tried to cool down under a fan that is far too slow for my liking. In about 10 minutes I will head out to check the accommodation we have booked for our teams this summer, and then try my luck at a local restaurant I passed on my way here for dinner. May be out of contact for a few days but will keep you posted on my travels very soon!
