Delhi - surviving the heat

OMG (for those who don't get it means oh my %*^!good it's bloody HOT!Surviving 36 degrees is already a challenging task but 42+ is a whole new level! I only remember being this hot traveling through the Greek islands where the sea helped cool down our sweaty bodies. Here you would walk for 200 meters and feel that you needed a cool shower and new clothes; no wonder people (with money) are driven everywhere and others just manage to cope. After a while your throat gets itchy and your body is covered with dust that comes from absolutely everywhere. Did you get the picture? not so nice... Delhi is gigantic, we only managed to cover few areas and with the heat there is so much you can do in a day. The Bazars in the old part of town are a nice experience, as the lonely planet describes it challenges our senses and by this I mean all. We had lots of fun going around and that fruit juice after hour of walking was just what we needed to get going. We didn't manage to get in the mosque as the door man was abusing us by trying to charge us an entry fee; that was unfortunate but it have us some extra time to wonder around one of the main shopping areas - C Place. The best experiences in Delhi were spent in Khaus Khan village, a neighborhood in the south full of small shops, some nice restaurants and few really cool rooftop bars where only locals (and curious people) find by change hidden away from the main streets. We are meeting MAGNUS fans all over the place (see Magnus facebook page) and making sure they are captured in our photo album!This morning we almost got scammed catching our train (you wouldn't believe the stories these guys make up) but fortunately we are heading south and soon we will be arriving at our next destination - Jaipur.
