• Day 53 - Delhi and Agra

    October 30, 2023 in India ⋅ ☀️ 33 °C

    Our arrival in Delhi was a bit of a challenge after Dubai. Spent the first 40mins running around the airport trying to change some money while fending off continuous calls from our taxi driver; and our hotel certainly didn't live up to the 9.0 score on Booking.com. Also, our plan to leave our motorcycle gear at the airport left luggage didn't work out, and we weren't comfortable leaving it at our current hotel. So, we needed a Plan C... Eventually decided to book two nights at the Radisson Blu for a week's time and took our gear over this morning to the left luggage there. Costs a bit more but gives us a relaxing day before heading to Bhutan.
    After splashing out on a nice breakfast there, we caught an Uber to Hazrat Nizamuddin station to catch the train the Agra. Another new experience ... always nice to be given a flower, paper and free drinks on board!
    Mugged by hundreds of taxi and tuk-tuk drivers when we exited Agra Station but managed to escape the crowds and ordered an Uber (with a guaranteed price).
    Tonight's hotel seems much better so far..
