Delhi

Delhi was not what I expected.

Waking up early to make the bus at 9:00, we awoke at 7. Packed as we were not staying another night in this doggy dirty little room. Once checking out another younger guy was at the reception. The who checked us in was lurking around as well. We had to paiy the renaming 350 for the room. Upon doing that the little smuck says no you still need to pay 10% more for government tax.

Last day Mumbai, first day Delhi.

Last two days in Mumbai were fun, was getting a bit board with the place. Any how being the last day we were all together I suggest we do the slum tour. So we headed for Dharavi in the heart of Mumbai. First stop was getting some tickets, reality tours and travel was the NGO that took us on it. Unfortunately photos were not allowed at all. We found the ticket office close to the dodgy shop posing as a tourist information booth. Stairs were every steep and passages were so narrow only one person could fit at a time. Reminded me of Amsterdam a little.

So tickets booked we were to meet our tour guide at one of train stations. After the time had come and gone, a fellow popped out of no where. He said he was taking us to the guide who was in the slums. Weird as we were expecting the guide, anyhow 15 rpuies later we were on the train. Now our second train travelling with the locals to and fro from work. Way grand!
