We arrived in Delhi for the final part of our visit, to a much grander city, a little more formal than Kolkata, less beeping, and on the surface, a lot cleaner.
The walkways were wider, the roads better, and the houses quite amazing, around the diplomatic quarter. You can tell that the money moved from Kolkata to Delhi, just in the buildings and general feel.
The people in Kolkata (called the city of Joy) seemed to be quite opinionated about the people of Delhi, with the view they were rude and argumentative, so we were not so looking forward to this part of the trip!
The airport as usual was amazing, just over 6 months old, and put anything we have in the UK to shame. Luggage was off in minutes and our transport was waiting for us as we exited the main area.
The hotel was great - usual Oberoi luxury and taken straight to our room to check in and given a Delhi welcome (not quite sure what that is but it involves marigold flowers, a touch of red paint and some nice iced tea water)
The swimming pool from our room.
So far so good, all settled in and an early night for a busy week!
