Delhi – Delhi Belhi 15th April 2006

I woke up at around 03:00 and didn’t feel to well. The next four hours were spent going between bed and the “throne”, I’ll spare you the gory details. I wasn’t sure if I would be able to do a five hour bike ride in the condition I was in, especially if it meant pulling over every couple of minutes to “clear the system”. I had to try though, as I’d told Carol that I’d take her on the back of my bike and all the others had bought their train tickets (must be bought a day in advance), so she would have been stuck in Delhi with me.

Turns out when I got to their hotel that Gulshan had been ill during the night and was in no state to travel. We decided that Carol would take Gulshans train ticket and that we would follow them to Chandigar when we were fit enough to travel. I checked into their hotel and spent the day with either my face or my arse over the toilet, an apt way to remember Delhi! We decided to go for something to eat at about 19:00 and also get a bit of fresh air. I felt as though I’d been hit by a bus and all my joints were aching, Gulshan wasn’t any better. We managed to walk to a café I know that does “comfort food”, I had mashed potato (from a packet, but better than nothing), fried egg and beans, Gulshan had a toasted cheese and tomato sandwich. I ate less than half of mine and I was really hot and sweaty. We left there as soon as we could and headed back to the hotel and crashed out for the rest of the evening.
