Maybe we tried to do too much in one day. Our hired, taxi driver certainty did not like all of the driving that our itinerary required. It drove him to the point of drinking. Although, looking back now, he was probably drunk when he picked us up.<\/p>\n
After Annie wrapped up a few long days in Delhi, we hit the ground running trying to “bag” as many tourists sites as we could.<\/p>\n
On Friday evening, we kicked it off by taking the subway to Old Town Delhi. We marveled at how empty the train was when we got on. Silly us, our station happen to be the first<\/em> station. So, we soon marveled at how packed the train became.<\/p>\n Even the locals, who must be used to the cramped conditions, got a little heated with each other. It was almost impossible to squeeze your way to the door, so most people, worried they might miss their stop, tried to camp out as close to it as possible. When the doors opened you had the clash of the Titans – peopled determined to get off, people determined to get on, and people determined not to move away from the door.<\/p>\n When it was our turn to disembark, I politely said “excuse me” twice. Funny, but that got absolutely no response from the 20 people between us and the door. So it was time to make like a local and crank up the bulldozer inside me. I was a bit timid at first, but then, surprised by my latent talent to part a human sea,\u00a0I really got into it. Just before reaching the door, I even considered veering left and doing an additional lap through the car just for good measure.<\/p>\n Old Town Delhi was the real deal. (watch video)<\/a>
