Apres 2 bonnes journees de repos meritees, a base de grosses siestes, de lecture, de 'tchats' avec Katie, Guy et Carlos, on decide de se motiver de nouveau pour affronter Dehli.
Dehli est vraiment differente de toutes les villes qu'on a pu visiter jusque la. Les rues sont plus propres, il y a pas mal de verdure, les rickshaws sont moins invasifs, le traffic est par contre vraiment sature.

On prend le temps d'arpenter les bazars et de gouter au dehli-cieuses patisseries des boulangeries. Vers la fin de journee, il fait bon retrouver le calme d'une maison et d'echapper au tumulte de la rue.

Faits:

- les patisseries indiennes sont vraiment trop sucrees, cf photo
- c'etait quasi impossible de trouver des samoosas au Rajasthan, j'ai enfin pu en gouter un a Dehli - la glace a la pistache se mange avec des noodles froides ici, mmmmmmmmmmmm

for me, dehli feels like another country entirely. it is somewhat westernised with the people in western clothes, closed shoes and dining in some really fancy smancy restaurants, even for european standards.
residing with katie and guy has been a real treat, words cannot explain. they almost feel like family; i now know why carlos calls them mom and dad. thanks guys for a fantastic few days -
cuisine is combined with traditional and continental. we have been enjoying both, to the max. having an indian starter, chinese main and a kulfi (pistachio ice cream) desert, topped with glass noodles - odd. i know.
one thing i must say though, rickshaws are the way to go around here. they wind their way in between buses and trucks, past cyclists and dodge wandering cows. pretty damn impressive. almost like a black taxi in south africa.
