Arrived in Delhi!!!

After a couple of long flights and a 4 hr layover in Dubai we've arrived in Delhi! A driver came and picked us up from the airport and brought us here to the Ajunta Hotel, and luckily they have a great internet cafe right downstairs!

Flights were pretty simple... no big stories... oh, except that I got bumped between Dubai and Delhi, into business class!!! It was great! Kind of a suprise and I felt a little out of place sitting there in my kahki shorts and Holland Jersey, but it was alright :)

This evening Matt and I set out on a quest for an ATM, but to no avail... the only one close to our location is currently out of comission... just our luck! We should be able to find one tomorrow though...

The driver I had all lined up for us never returned my confirmation email, so I sent him another email telling him to not worry about coming and set something up with the driver here at the hotel... it should work out better this way anyhow; same price, same deal, but now we can just use our debit cards to pay and add it to the hotel bill rather than handing out a wad of cash...

Then we grabbed some food from the side of the road, a couple of street vendors that made us a couple of plates of pretty good curry! ..just kidding, not that stupid :) Don't want to have to end the trip early! We ended up just eating at the hotel resturant, pretty descent! Hope that sets a good tone for the tour tomorrow, a little nervous about how that's all going to work but it's all about being flexible right?

Keep us in your prayers as we traverse the crazy streets of India! :)
