After living the high life for the last couple of weeks with free accommodation in Himachal and the first class train upgrade to Varanasi, we landed with a bump and have had a rather stressful time over the last couple of days! There weren't many sights left to see in Varanasi, particularly as they were closed on Sunday. So, after checking...

Last day in Delhi

Had a lie in this morning :) but then we had to pack :( We went out for lunch to a really nice cafe and ate lots. Wish we'd discovered it sooner cos we would have gone more often.

Days 24 & 25
May 6, 2008 - Delhi, India

We visited Max Hospital, a 'super speciality' private hospital and had a quick tour. It was interesting, but just like...
