After traveling with Susan (a Dutch girl I met at the Bombay guesthouse) to Delhi on an overnight, mosquito infested and incredibly bumpy bus where I tried to sleep on the floor of the isle. We arrived in Delhi’s ISBT station where we had to avoid the touts who were asking far too much (as always) to get to the main train station where most of the cheap guesthouses were. We shared a tuk-tuk with an English guy (Tom) who was also on the bus.

It was 5am we searched the main bazaar for anything cheap, Bright GH that was recommended by Ian from Rishakesh thinking we would only have to pay for the night of the 1^st, they (again. Like always) tried to charge us for the morning we arrived. We refused to pay as it was getting light and we could a better place, but after we threatened to leave he dropped price to one night only.

For most of the day we caught up on the lack of sleep on the bus journey and I cashed in the 200 Danish crowns I had been carrying for the past 7 months (rs1500) and went shopping as I had only 1 day left, I got another tailor made shirt, some work trousers, sleeping pills (50 for $2) and a pair of sunnies for next to nothing. A few of us in the GH got some beers in the evening where we chilled while it pissed down outside.
