Delhi is crazy!!

Well, we have made it safely to Delhi including a couple of adventures already. The flights were uneventful, though very long. Once we made it to the Delhi airport, we were overwhelmed with the number of people holding signs for others as well as the taxi situation for getting to our hotel. We thought we had it licked when we paid for a prepaid cab and the very nice driver escorted us past the throngs of people, and five wandering bulls in the parking lot to our cab. He was very nice, until he told us he was lost and had to stop for directions to the hotel. Ted, of course, fell for it and went inside, though Erin knew we were about to get scammed. Sure enough, we were about to get scammed. Thankfully we escaped their elaborate set-up where they tried to make us believe we didn't really have reservations. Once we convinced them we wouldn't fall for their game (at least Erin convinced them), they actually drove us to our hotel, where they then got a tongue lashing from the doorman at our hotel who we told about their scam. Ever since, things have been crazy, but good. There are crazy autorickshaw drivers, billions of people, smog, dirt, poverty, heat...and we love every minute of it.

Tomorrow we are getting on the train and heading to Rathambhore National Park for a little relaxation. We'll talk to you more soon.
