After a short 2½ hour flight we arrived back home to Europe, or that is atleast how it felt when we were walking out of the aeroplane; for us the temperature had dropped from +35 to mere +25 degrees. Shivering cold in our t-shirts!
We took a taxi to the infamous Pahar Ganj neighbourhood in search of hostel. We settled to Hotel New Hindustan, as they had promised warm water, free wifi & TV. Unfortunately the wifi does not work and TV does not have any english channels. But we decided to stay anyway as we needed room only for two days.
Delhi itself is huge and chaotic; for the first 24 hours it felt awesome and lively but the next 24 hours started to be enough of big city "atmosphere". Pahar Ganj has a nice labyrinth of narrow dirty but nostalgic streets and one big crowded tourist shoppingstreet.
We decided to leave most of the sightseeing for later as we anyway need to return here for our next flight. Tonight we are taking a nighttrain to Varanasi.
