"Lane drive, sane drive"


The adventure has started. Once we packed our shuttle car to go to the hotel, which by the way was 2 hours late, we discovered Delhi driving style. The slogan could be something like "do whatever as long as you blow the horn". This is by far the noisiest place I've ever been. Rickshaws, bikes, pedestrians, buses and cars merge into a complete chaos. And not even didactical messages like the one in the title of this entry seem to help at all.
Traffic apart, it was exciting to walk in the streets of New Delhi, under a permanent fog which gives the city a misterious atmosphere. In Connaught Place, a very large english-way-designed square where we arrived by metro, we hung around and enjoyed a beer and our first indian meal: nothing better to fight the jet-lag :).
