Sydney to New Delhi

The flights all went smoothly, no delays anywhere. Even the bureaucracy overkill I was expecting at Customs and Immigration was almost non-existent. There is a military presence but its not in your face. Although the drive from the airport to the hotel (about 20 minutes) was slowed down at about 3 places for 'checkpoints' but no one was being checked. In other words, it gives the impression of control without there being any.
The Taj Mahal Hotel in Delhi is a stunning building nestled amongst the embassies along Shanti Path and Akbar Road. The pictures are of  the hotel and the view from my hotel window at the grounds and pool.
Its overcast and a little rainy today which will hopefully keep the temperature down. Last night at 2:30am the temperature was still over 30 degrees. I think today's high is a more acceptable 26.
