GT Day 3

24th June 2009 – Delhi (Indian Gate and Red Fort and Main Bazaar)
Back to English channel ;p
We woke up at the early morning, as the bus departed at 6am,…..
I was surprised that they offered us a bottle of cold water when we onboard, so nice ^_^, but if I knew it beforehand I shouldn’t bought the cold marinda (lime flavour) -_-! This non AC bus wasn’t that bad, yes it was bumpy, yes it was dusty, yes it was hot, but I could still sleep well ^_^
There was a stop during the journey, I got off and found sth nice to eat and drink :P, I saw a can of ice tea (lipton!!) seemed very nice (main point it was shilled!) but it was Rs 75 (normal price of drink ~ Rs 1x ~Rs 2x) too expensive la…..so I gave up >_< and continued to search for nice food and drink……I FOUND SOME REALLY NICE ICECREAM! Manufactured by Cream Bell – Butter Scotch @@ it costs me Rs 20 but It was AMAZING!
Journey continued….and we arrive delhi at around 12 noon……we met Lee – another travelmate from Singapore.
DELHI is CRAZILY hot!!!! Even standing under shade, the sweats never stops!!! We WALKED to the Indian Gate and it nearly killed me, too shiny and too hot….>_< it was so happy that our travelmates were considerate, Spencer, Xavier and Lee asked us to stay under the tree (really much cooler) and they looked for the road and bought us drinks ^_^
Then, we went to Main Bazaar – one of the busiest markets in Delhi. And we chose a hotel there. This hotel wasn’t too expensive and they provide Internet service (Rs 10 per hour) and room service. As I was exhausted, I ordered a bottle of cold Pepsi :P hahaha!! Enjoyed it in the AC room ^_^ HAHAHA!
After a short rest, we had our brunch at a veg.restaurant, I ordered naan and lassi as usual. They are cheap but taste really good~!
Finished meal, we took a rickshaw to Red Fort – built in 1639. but we didn’t enter it and only took photos around it. the temperature at that time was >45’C!!! we were all tired and exhausted. So it’s time for cold drinks ( actually we kept buying water during the whole journey..) Xavier and Lee tried the mixed fruit juice (pink in colour) but it was so nice!!
As spencer wanted to meet a friend at Connaught Place, however girls were too tired…so they brought us back to the hotel first. We took the metro~~~the metro is Delhi is really similar to HK’s, fast+clean+safe!!!! But, there was a thing that is totally different is that all passengers need to pass through the security check before getting on the train, just like passing through the custom!!!! 2 stations =Rs 6, I was really satisfied with it.
So after that, boys left and alexia was sick so she slept after bathing. Moon, Polly and I went to the Main Bazaar to shop~~~~~ Again, everyone kept asking us “Japan?? Korean?? South Korean??” if they received no response from us they would continue with more country names “China?? Malaysia?? Taiwan??”
Anyway~ we enjoyed the shopping there, and met lots of “friends”….-_-hahaha…
The next day, we went to Agra…
