After spending the first day in Delhi sorting our hotel and travel plans for the coming week we finally went site seeing on the second day. We had a car with a driver which made our life easier and we managed to cover most of the interesting sites in Delhi. We started at the Jami Masjid mosque, the biggest in India. This is a very interesting site, but to get there you need to go thru a very filthy lane lined up with sellers, beggars, etc., which was our very first real contact with the India streets on our own! From there we went on to the Rajghat and the Mahatma Ghandi gardens, the site of Ghandi's cremation, after the previous site, this was pretty peaceful and relaxing. After we went on to Humayun's Tomb, this is truly amazing complex, the tomb itself was the inspiration for the builders of the Taj Mahal. After we visited the India Gate, which is surrounded by a fairly large park which is a favorite picnic place for Indian families. We finished the tour around the Indian Parliament and adjacent government buildings.
After the first day out we felt confident enough to venture out on own, and at night we went into the center for dinner and had a lot of fun bargaining auto rickshaw (3 wheeled taxi) fares. On our 3rd day in Delhi, before we took a night train to Varanasi, we still had time to visit the Jantar Mantar, an 18th century massive astronomical observatory, and the Red Fort which was originally the seat of the rulers and it remains a symbol of Indian independence till this day.

Nasledujici 2 dny jsme stravili v Delhi. Doprava po meste je jeden velky chaos. Na ulici jezdi vsechno mozne, kola, cyklo-riksy, kravske, konske a osli povozy, lidske povozy, trojkolky, auta, autobusy, nakladaky a v neposledni rade polosileni motorkari. Jizdni pruhy jsou sice namalovane na silnici, ale pro "ridice" jakoby neexistovali. Vsichni se cpou vsude a soustavne troubi, aby ostatni vedeli, ze jedou (zpetna zrcatka se zasacne nepouzivaji, proc taky, kdyz mam klakson, ze?). Obcas se nekde vyskytne stado krav nebo smecka psu.
Delhi je mesto protikladu - 10 ctverecnich kilometru parlamentni ctvrti je jako ze skatulky a kapsare byste tu hledali jen tezko. Oproti tomu zbytek mesta je jedno velke smetiste plne chudoby a zebraku, stredni trida zije v obou castech. V kazde ulici spi nebo zebra nekolik bezdomovcu, casto v detstvi zmrzacenych vlastnimi rodici, aby vice vyzebrali. Je tezke je odmitnout, ale pokud clovek podlehne, hned se jich objevi cela grupa a vsichni neco chteji. Lekce cislo 1 v Delhi - Jak rici NE.
Prekvapilo me, ze jsme v podstate nepotkali skoro zadne zapadni turisty, jenom nekolik mensich skupinek v mistech, kam turisti chodi, dohromady mozna 10-15 lidi. Pro mistni jsme tady jako nejakyu exoti, hlavne ja, dokonce si me par Indu fotilo a chteli i fotku se mnou, jako bych byla nejake exoticke zviratko.
Co me take zaujalo, byl styl oblekani. Zatimco 90% muzu se obleka v zapadnim stylu, 90% zen nosi sari a dalsi tradicni obleceni. Pouze nektere mlade divky se oblekaji v zapadnim stylu, stale ale tak, aby obleceni zakryvalo ramena a kolena (odhalene bricho nevadi). Starsi lide, kdyz jim zacnou sedivet vlasy, tak si je barvi henou, takze to vypada, ze maji jakysi ohnivy preliv. Dneska jsem dokonce videla pana, co mel takhle nabarveny svuj obrovsky vous.
No ale abych se taky dostala k tomu, co jsme vlastne vsechno navstivili. Zminim pouze mista, ktera byla opravdu zajimava. Nase prvni zastavka byla u nejvetsi indicke mesity Jami Masjid. Nahoru se jde nejprve takovou ulickou, kde ruzni lide prodavaji snad uplne vsechno, od koreni pres satky a sperky az po kozy. Ten bordel, co se kolem nich vyskytuje, si dokaze predstavit jen malokdo. Pak se jde nahoru po sirokych schodech a pred vchodem jsme se museli zout, samozrejme. Stavba je to ovsem impozantni a rozhodne stoji za navstevu. Navic v te ulicce pred mesitou muzete procvicovat ono NE. Rajghat - misto kremace Mahatma Gandhiho - je zahrada, ktera je oazou klidu, cistounka a upravena a dokonce tu maji i odpadkove kose. Nejvice se mi ale libila pohadkova Humayunova hrobka, coz je obrovsky komplex palacu, hrobek a zahrad. Tento komplex poslouzil jako inspirace ke stavbe Taj Mahalu. Stravili jsme tu nekolik prijemnych hodin, az na to, ze Nuna a batoh, co mel na zadech, docela solidne pokalel ptak. Parlament a prilehle budovy tvori hezkou ctvrt, ale zajimavejsi byla Indicka brana, co stoji naproti. Kolem ni se rozklada docela velky park - oblibene misto na pikniky. Zajimavy je take Jantar Mantar - takova maxi "pre-historicka" astronomicka observator. No a nakonec pevnost Red Fort, ktera drive slouzila jako sidlo panovnika a dodneska je symbolem indicke nezavislosti.
