Thursday 31st December - this is Liam as we attempted to cross the road by Humayun's Tomb. There are zebra crossings but no-one actually stops at them to let anyone cross. You basically have to either wait for a few more people so you create enough of a mass to cross together or just take your chance. We saw a young boy knocked off his bike by a car who's driver then proceeded to beep until the boy moved himself and his bike out of way. The boy was okay, just a bit shaken.

e tried to visit Humayun's Tomb but we didn't have enough cash and Cliff's attempts to get them to accept pounds didn't fly, so by the time we'd been to the ATM and back, they'd closed the gates. We'll try again on Friday and it's free then.
We also managed to get to India Gate. It's a magnificent arch commemorating the loss of 90,000 Indian soldiers in World War I. It used to have traffic flowing around it, but it's now blocked off due to terrorism threats. There's parkland all around and lots of families strolling, having picnics and playing cricket.
