Arrival in India


So as you can see we have arrived safely in India after a long but pleasant flight. Luckily we had a couple of very nice air hostesses as Elliot managed to forget his brace on his meal tray TWICE and they had to rake through all the used trays to find it, which they did both times !!!!

During our first day in Delhi we managed to see some of the main sites : India Gate (India's version of the Arc de Triomphe), Humayan's tomb, Qutar Minab to name some. As you can imagine we were pretty exhausted by the time evening came around and we caught our overnight train to Bundi. Can't say much for the comfort of the Indian trains however we were so tired that we all managed to sleep !


Comme vous pouvez le constatez nous sommes arrivés en Inde sains et saufs après un vol long mais agréable. Heureusement nous avions des hotesses de l'air très sympathiques car Elliot a réussi à oublier son appareil DEUX fois sur le plateau du repas et elles ont du fouiller dans tous les plateaux usagés pour le retrouver .....

Pendant notre première journée à Delhi nous avons visité quelques-uns des sites principaux : India Gate (l'Arc de Triomphe indien), Humayan's tomb et Qutab Minar. Comme vous pouvez imaginer nous étions crevés au moment de prendre notre train de nui direction Bundi. On ne peut pas trop faire la pub pour le confort des trains indiens mais nous étions tellement fatigués que nous avons tous réussi à dormir !

  1. Great start guys! Sounds a lot more interesting than sitting at work on a rainy Tuesday in London! Glad the train journey was ok, even if it wasn't quite TGV standard.... Take care, Lynne xxx
