India welcomed us with open arms.... HA yeah right! We thought we were prepared for the worst but we weren't even close. We arrived in Delhi at 11:30 pm only to discover our backpacks were still in Amsterdam. We carried on light, and by light I mean a camera, a couple books and some tp. The airline assured us we would have our packs in 2 days. Hmmm only 2 days with no clothes, no toothbrush, no nothing... no big deal :)
I have to say I was blessed with something, and thats a talkitive boyfriend. There is not a shy bone in that kids body. Kendrick became bff's with this English tunnel engineer who works in Delhi and ended up saving our butts our first night in India. Gordan gave us tons of advise on the plane and offered us a ride to a guest house in the center of Delhi. Well his dirver never showed up (which is typical on Indian standards) and we rode around some alley ways in a taxi unable to find a place to stay. Needless to say we ended up "sleeping" in a random English guys (Gordon) servants room on a less than twin bed, while the howling street dogs sang us to sleep. Oh happy days! I am overwhelmed with excitement and wonder what kind of adventures tomorrow will bring. Oh India, how I love you already!
