Well arrived in India dazed and confused but still in one piece. I'm staying at the ridiculously posh Taj Mahal Hotel on the basis that I'm a travel writer, which I am, or will be, when the SOS publish my pieces. All seems completely unreal! Writing this from the hotel room ahead of testing my fair skin against the Delhi sun - where's the factor 50? Will bring back photos.
Delhi - or what I've seen of it so far from the cab of my airport taxi driver, who spent the entire trip angling to be my personal chauffeur, I think he saw where I was staying and assumed I had cash to splash, worse luck for both of us - is domiated by really lush vegetation (an odd thing to say but it is). The buildings are few and far between and swamped by huge green trees which dip onto the roads, high grass, etc. The whole place also seems very random, with people thinking nothing about walking down the middle of a highway with their back to the traffic! I guess that's the charm!
