Delhi


We arrived in Delhi after a long flight from Cochin.  I had only a few minutes to buy some spices in the airport in Cochin, so these two beautiful girls at the Delhi Oberoi Hotel gave us our first welcome to India.  We had a wonderful dinner here sampling various Indian dishes -- the lamb kabobs were wonderful -- as well as the curry!



Our only stop in Delhi the next morning was Humayun's Tomb -- a beautiful piece of Indian architecture which served as part of the inspiration for the Taj -- just a teaser for our bus trip to Agra and the Taj Mahal. 


Now to face the traffic of Delhi -- It was crazy!  We learned quickly that size and speed are the only factors that count in traveling by car (or bicycle or motorcycle -- or camel).  In most cases, size wins!  Thank God we were on a bus!
