Saying goodbye to my host family in Jaipur was so sad, but I was ready to see more of India. However, it was never going to be was to say goodbye to this rascal.
I arrived in Delhi on March 30th and stayed at the Idex house for lunch before I made my way to my final destination that day.
My parents are referring to the next part of my time in India (April 1st-May 23rd) as “Molly’s Grand Tour” and that is a very fitting title. Thanks to Tahn, I have a travel buddy for the next 6 weeks! My travel buddy (and now a life long friend), Annabel, is taking a gap year between completing high school in Switzerland and NYU this upcoming fall.
We stayed in Delhi for 7 days with lovely family friends of Annabel, and one of the most interesting families I have ever met. The mother is English and the father is Greek. They have lived in England, Greece, South Africa, Switzerland, Indonesia, and now India.
When I was arrived at their appt I was in awe. I had gone from rural Guwahati, to middle-class Jaipur, and now to the most gorgeous appt on the 17th floor.
The appt house is filled with furniture and art from all over the world, along with books, books, and more books. I am absolutely in love with it, and the family.
During our 7 days in Delhi Annabel and I caught up on sleep (Annabel recovered from her jet lag), did some sight seeing, and met with a travel agent to make an itinerary for our “Grand Tour”.
*If I can only give one piece of advice for any further Indian travelers I would say, book your train tickets in advance and use tourist quota.
The coolest sight we saw in Delhi was the Sikh Temple. The Protonortairous’ driver Om, a absolutely lovely man, took us because it is one of his favorite places in Delhi.
Here we wandered around the complex, saw the temple, helped make chapatti in the volunteer kitchen, and ate lunch in the communal dinning hall for free! It was one of my favorite experiences.
Gopi, Khushi, and Dupanker
