Friday - Reinforcements arrive

Today we had a very lazy morning, having a lie in and then stooging around the hotel getting sorted out for our move on to Bengal. The tour group arrive at lunch time, looking pretty tired after their overnight flight from Heathrow. We make the mistake of having lunch in the hotel - easily the most expensive food we have had anywhere in india and the beer came in the smallest bottles we have seen. If travelling to Delhi avoid the Ramada Plaza which looks like this.

After lunch we take a coach trip of a few miles to the Indian National Railway Museum. there are some interesting exhibits including the only surviving steam monorail in the world. Unfortunately it was not in steam for our visit but still fascinating to see. R voted the loos here the most disgusting that she has seen in India which is quite an achievement.
There is nothing organised for dinner so we take a tuk-tuk back to the Chor Bizarre, R having decided that it wasn't them who caused her Delhi belly. The food was an interesting array of vegetable and cheese kebabs with lentil and spinach patties. As our tuk-tuk delivers us back to our hotel there is a wedding procession arriving for the celebrations - all great fun.
