The Trip from Delhi-->Dehradun-->Mussoorie!!


After we all gathered ourselves at the airport we boarded a bus that took us to the hotel!! WOW, that first ride on the Indian highways is an experience all within itself!! Cars, motorcycles, and bus drivers are INSANE!! The horn is put into good use here!! Drivers, I've noticed, never focus behind them, they assume if a driver is behind them they will let them know they are there (aka HONK)!! Which most do!! And the lanes on the highways, are more there for a suggestion rather than actual use!! A two lane highway, we've seen that turned into 4 car lanes!!!:) Hilarious yet scary at the same time!! We get to the hotel at 10pm and we ALL are exhausted, so we turn in for the night ASAP!! BEST SLEEP OF MY LIFE!! Slept 10 hours straight!! Woke up had breakfast with everyone and then we headed to downtown Delhi to FABINDIA and some shopping!! BEST news of my life is when I saw PYJAMA'S (pajama pants) AS AN APPROPRIATE WEAR FOR HOLIDAYS!! Sooooooooo amazing!!:) Definitely got a pair of those and a kurta (men's formal shirt) asap!! Felt cool to be more Indian now!! After an afternoon in Delhi we headed back to the hotel again and had some dinner!! Indian food is DELICIOUS!! Mostly everyone said look out for the spices in India, but honestly after a couple meals the spices really blend in with the main dish and can barely notice it anymore!!:) PLUS no diarhea!! YAY (knock on wood!!) Got back to my hotel room, met Aman my roomie for the night and we went to bed because tomorrow (Saturday) was an EARLY morning!! Heading to Dehradun and Mussoorie all in the same day!! Continued in the next post....
