Our first day

We arrived in Delhi around 3:30 AM local time. Our first experience with the difference in cultures came in the immigration line. After discovering we had to fill out a form no one mentioned (and finding one in an unmarked location), we joined the back of a long, slow moving line and gradually worked our way to the front. At that point, the official promptly took a break leaving a line of at least 50 people wondering what to do. An official-looking lady told us to go to the first class line to be processed. Everyone else beat us there and we were at the back of the line again! In the line to the right of us (also first class), the official gave everyone a lecture about being in the first class line without being in first class before he processed them. The line to the left was for diplomats and the official was totally idle. Someone went to him and asked if he could process a few of the passengers from our line. He responded "What?  Do you think I'm here totally idle?" That was the end of that and our line continued to move slowly. Eventually, we got processed.

We met our driver and were driven through what appeared to be a scene out of the Road Warrior. We finally got to our guest house and were shown to our room. We like it!

In the next blog, we'll write about our first daylight ride in Delhi traffic, it was crazy but we loved it!!!
