I arrived in New Delhi on the evening following two long flights from Bali to Tokyo and then Tokyo to Delhi. Upon arrival, I arranged for a prepaid taxi to my hotel. That was my first experience in Delhi traffic, lot looking forward to more. No one follows any traffic rules - but I'll get into the details later.My hotel was very nice, and following dinner, I called it a day.
On the 24th my first mission was to buy my prescription drugs. I heard they were cheaper than in Argentina and they were. I now have an 18 month supply of everything.
I hired a car for a four hour city tour. Of the 4 hours, at least 2 1/2 was stuck in traffic.
I did see the Qutab Pinar - the tallest tower in New Delhi build in the 13th century (pictured above).
I then visited the Lotus Baha'i Temple which reminded me of the Sydney Opera House.
Humayon's Tomb was next, from the 16th century and was the forerunner to the Taj Mahal.
We finally stopped at the India Gate - which is a memorial to the Indian Soldiers killed in World War I.
