We Made If Safely to Asia

Tamu asleep at hotel

Hey All,

After a very long flight, we finally made it far east to south Asia.  Aaah feels good to not be traveling on a plane ;).

The weather here is pretty warm and the people here are very kind.  Our first impressions are that this part of India is safe and fairly easy to get around.  Right now, our hotel is located right on the line of New Delhi and Old Delhi.  It's great because it's in the center of all the activity and we get to be among a lot of locals and a good amount of tourists as well.  We've met people traveling from all parts of the world, China, Germany, Spain and more.  It felt good to know that we are not alone in seeing the beauties of India for the first time.  In fact, there are more hotels on this one road, than we could count.  It took a couple of loops of the street just to find which one was ours.  I would guess that there are about 40.

The Hotel Delhi City Centre is nice.  And we have the Western accouterments that we are used to: flat screen cable tv, wi-fi, a mini fridge.  Not bad for $40 a night.  But it did take us a while to get the wi-fi working.  This may have been because we kept falling asleep and missing the hotel's calls.  We needed an access card from them to log into their network.  But we slept until 4pm Delhi time (6am Boston time).  That is definitely something we'll have to work on tomorrow.

Now that we are up, it is time to explore!  Post back soon...
