Day 1 Diena 1

We landed in foggy Delhi. Pleasantly cool morning. As we were promised, a taxi was there and with no hussle we got into it and were taken to the hotel Namaskar. Room is pritty basic but not less than we needed to take a rest. Later on we have explored city center, took tahli for a late lunch and walked around. We failed to get into central park because people with cameras are not allowed in. I have no idea what kind of damage I could do for a grass in the park but this is India. We have to take it as it is with all strange and foreign customs, weird regulations and weather which got much warmer in the afternoon. In the evening we have finally decided our next destination because we never intended to stay in Delhi for more than a day. We decided to go to Udaipur by train on Sundau evening. It took a while and some effort to get the ticket because there zillions of "the only one" ticket reservation offices in the city and we were constantly diverted by touts trying to sell something that has very little to do with tickets we needed. Finally. We have managed to get the tickets on our own. We may relax now and see what the next day brings for us.

Nusileidome ukanotame Delyje. Maloniai vesus rytas. Kaip ir buvo zadeta, taksi lauke ir be jokiu trikdziu nuveze i viesbutuka Namaskar trumpam poilsiui. Veliau tyrinejome miesto centra, pietums ragavome thali rinkini ir siaip vaiksciojome. Nepavyko patekti i centrini parka, nes zmones su foto aparatais ten tabu. Nesuprantu kokia zala mes galejome padaryti parko zolei, bet tai Indija. Turime priimti ja su visais keistais ir svetimais paprociais, kvailomis taisyklemis ir oru, kuris po pietu gerokai susilo. Vakare galiausiai nusprendeme kur vyksime kita diena, nes Delyje neplanavome ilgiau pasilikti. Nutareme sekmadieni vakare traukiniu vykti i Udaipur. Uztrukome, kol gavome bilietus, nes mieste yra tikriausiai milijonas tu "vieninteliu" bilietu rezervavimo biuru ir mus nuolatos bandydavo nukreipti klaidinga kryptimi ir parduoti ka nors, kas negaug turi bendro su bilietais. Galiausiai. Pavyko gauti bilietus. Galime atsipusti ir palaukti rytojaus siurprizu.
