We weren't terribly fond of Delhi. Old Delhi's streets were interesting, but the city is terrifically crowded, the traffic is overwhelming and it's hot, dusty and dirty. You could feel the grit on your skin from all the dust blowing around and if you were out and about wearing a white shirt, by evening it had literally turned grey. The day we walked around the most it was 106.7 degrees - no wonder after a few hours I longed only for a shower, a book and air conditioning! Bill walked for another 5 hours or so, I'm surprised he didn't get heat stroke.
