Arrived in Delhi around 7AM. Fought my way through the annoying crowd of taxi drivers trying to screw you and found a reasonable price with a Tuk Tuk driver who brought me through the morning chaos to my hotel.
Checked into the deceivingly named "Incredible Guesthouse" and exhausted fell asleep on the bed while just laying down for "a minute" ;)
Woke up around 1PM and went hunting and gathering for food outside. After lunch i got some fresh made delicious potato chips and locked myself into the room watching movies. Just to escape the incredible noise and people outside. Also, organizing a bottle of beer is like trying to get illegal drugs ;) Because no one has an alcohol license. So you have to go to the front desk of a big hotel tell them what you want, wait 15 min and pay an extra fee for a beer bottle wrapped in newspaper...
Kam in Delhi gegen 7 Uhr morgens an. Kaempfte mich durch die laestige Menge von betruegerischen Taxifahrern und fand einen guten Preis bei einem Tuk Tuk Fahrer, der mich schliesslich durch das morgendliche Chaos zum Hotel mit dem truegerischen Namen "Incredible Guesthouse" brachte. Dort sclief ich erschoepft ein, nachdem ich mich nur mal "kurz" auf dem Bett ausruhen wollte ;)
Wachte gegen 13 Uhr wieder auf und begab mich auf Nahrungssuche. Nach dem Essen kaufte ich eine Tuete leckerer frisch gemachter Kartoffelchips, schloss mich ins Hotelzimmer ein und schaute Filme. Ausserdem, ein Bier zu organisieren ist hier ein wenig wie illegale Drogen zu kaufen ;) Weil keiner eine Alkohollizenz hat. Somit muss man zur Rezeption eines groesseren Hotels gehen, denen sagen was man will, 15min warten und dann eine Extragebuehr bezahlen um an die in Zeitungspapier eingewickelte Bierflasche zu kommen...
