Traffic Jam
23rd September 2010
We got caught in traffic on the way to the hotel, no surprise there. A lot of people were waving at us from their buses and lorries as they whizzed past.
Even when the road was clear our driver pootled along at 5mph because the hotel staff were on the bus trying to distribute room keys before we arrived at the hotel. They realised with 5 minutes to go that they had more keys than journey time, so our driver was forced to slow down, allowing bicycles to overtake us.
Two and a half hours after landing, we arrived at our hotel. Twenty minutes after arriving at the hotel, there was a power shortage. Welcome to Delhi!
