A day in Delhi.
It's India day 5, or 6. Anyway it's breakfast and it's India.
Delhi in a day.
So I've got my auto rickshaw, as they're called, and this gentleman here, the driver, is called
the rickshaw wallah, or the driver
Rickshaw wallah.
Ricksah wallah.
what's your name? Rajesh
Thank you Regesh.
He's driving me to the India Gate which is the first thing i'm going to see this
morning on my day in Delhi.
So I'm going to to the India gate, the tomb, the lotus temple... I'll see what
I can do in. Now for getting round to see all these sights
it's fairly easy but it can be a bit of a hassle there is a hop-on hop-off
bus which i think is 700 rupees for one day and it goes round all the major
places to the city the problem is it doesn't really have a fixed schedule
of like every half hour every hour so it turns up when it turns up, that's partly to
do with traffic and organisation so it's a bit tricky because you might be
standing around to go and see a monument and then you wait for an hour before the
next bus comes along so I'm doing the next best thing which is hopping on and off
rickshaws. Now the pain with that means that every time you find a rickshaw
which is very easy to find they are always waiting for you,
the biggest thing is negotiating a price knowing what prices is should be between
different destinations so what I do is I go to my hotel and make friends
with the receptionist's and the people there and then I ask them what the
prices should be between different places and then I've got an idea
so when I go to the rickshaw driver if he's in the right ballpark that's fine
if he's too high I don't even bother arguing I just walk away there's always
another rickshaw so usually they'll chase you down the street for the price
going down down down but I don't like to encourage dishonest ones so I find
another one if he gives me a good price first time and that way I know, ya know
trying to keep them honest. I know sometimes it seems like you're arguing
about a small amount of money but it's the principle and the fact that they
feel they can rip off tourists just because we're foreigners. We might
have a bit more money but we've still got to make that money go a long way.
So for my first fare today from fairly central and close to the Old Delhi area
going to India Gate, 100 rupees.
Getting to the India Gate without getting run over. That might be easier said than done.
Line up with this guy
Go!
And first stop is India Gate which is like a big version of the Arc de
Triomphe in the middle of New Delhi. What's it like?
Well have a look for yourself. There you go.
There we are, the India memorial to the dead of the Indian armies who fell and
are honored in the near and the far east and it's sacred memory of those whose
names are here recorded who fell in India on the northwest frontier and
during the third Afghan war.
So essentially it's a war memorial to the
brave soldiers who fought and died in battle
no nothing thankfully okay happy Diwali. Sorry.
Hi how are you?
good thank you
how are you I am also fine
Now started my day quite early partly because it gets hot during the day and
secondly believe it or not from what we've just seen there's less cloud
crowds earlier in the day than later.
Now, where did I leave my tuk-tuk driver.
He said he'd wait for me but let's see if he has.
If not I have to get new tuk-tuk driver onto the next spot.
come on let's go.
I left him somewhere. He may have gone yeah.
You come with me I drop you there.
No it's okay thank you very much.
Humayuns tomb. Humayuns tomb. How much?
100 okay come on.
next tuk tuk, next visit is humayuns tomb. let's go
humayuns tomb, is that how you say it?
Is it recording? Yes.
Humayun's tomb now I just took a tuk-tuk from the India Gate to here, 100
rupees. I think it's fair price, it's really difficult to tell
I'm not sure what Humayun's tomb
is, well apart from a tomb, but what it looks like do anything and as you can
see there's these huge blue wall car parks this side walking down the path
let's go see
thank you very much have a lovely day
and here's my ticket for Humayuns tomb. And here for inspection.
good morning
Thank you. good thank you. Happy Diwali.
Wow it's quite beautiful here. It's amazing that in the heart
of Delhi there's so many of these beautiful green areas tucked away a
little bit cool gets away from the hustle and bustle
yesterday was the Red Fort again the same huge gardens here at Hanover handle
man's Hanna whens - might do apologize I have just massacred how to say that and
again you've got these beautiful gardens walled areas as well as obviously the
tomb itself
it is quite beautiful it's so like a precursor to the Taj Mahal
it's beautiful gardens and as you can see amazing architecture. But it's now midday
the sun is blazing down it's time to find some shade find a drink find
something to eat time to taste some more Indian food,
But first of all I've
got to find somewhere to eat it's strange to find at a lot of the big sites
is not actually that much to eat and then you go to other areas random
areas and there's eateries everywhere but here we are, we are enjoying Delhi.
We are having a fantastic time even though, I must admit, the temperatures
getting a bit hot, and it's getting a bit crowded in some places. Ooh, that's better in the shadeshade but
it's beautiful I mean look at that that is fantastic okay let's get
something to eat and do some more exploring
Time to take a break, get a cold drink.
before we carry on with our day in Delhi.
I've got water as well. Drink plenty plenty plenty as you go around.
You can go to these little stores like this one
here, they keep them tucked away cold, just be careful on the price in the
touristy areas, they go about this should be about 20 rupees
and about, I can't remember, about 35 I think.
and here they're cooked I think in your tickets now I'm very lucky at the
foreign tourists may pay more but I don't have to queue
thank you very much. there's two counters one for the local Indians and they only
pay 30 rupees, and one for foreign tourists but I pay 500 so I think I pay for the
privilege of not having to queue, I could queue for 30 rupees. Anyway lets wander over
and see the, let's see if I can pronounce this correctly, let's go this way.
The Kutub Minar
let's go and have a look at it and see what it's like
