Didn't sleep that well last night......dogs fighting in street, and woken up with the muic of Delhi.....car horns.
My driver came at 9a.m, on the dot as usual. Very polite, very open, and gives plenty of advice about travelling North to Kashmir. My initial idea was to travel up to Jammou on the Pakistan border, and then head up to Srinagar , and later to Leh. Everything is cheaper in Leh (altitude 3505 metres), being the highest airport in the world; but cooler, but much cooler than Delhi. My driver has now informed me that Jammou is the first stop for terrorists crossing from Pakistan; and every week the Indian newspapers cover incidents there. So thinking cap on again, but must book either bus or train soon.....heading North.
Well back to tourists sites here. India gate, and the park surroundings are nice to see, but I prefer the life on the roads rather than being behind a group of European tourists fast exiting from their air conditioned bus for a 5 minute photo shoot.
Well, now having a rest before heading out into heat....fresh bottled water, coke, fruit juice needs to be bought. In this heat I have no real appetite, but must eat to keep energy levels high.
