As we are on a budget, and nothing says excitement more than Delhi streets in a tuk tuk, we decided to see some sights in 2 tuk tuks! For anyone who says th traffic and driving in their city is terrible and scary….No! Even Vietnam pales in comparison, and yet tuk tuks are everywhere, jamming themselves between trucks, cars, bicycles and other tuk tuks.
On our first morning in Delhi I met Ravi the tuk tuk driver. He asked where we were going and we were off to the Uzbek embassy by Uber. An hour later he randomly showed up by this small computer/printing/ photo copy shop saying he was in the area. M.C. being wiser thought he must have followed us. Turns out Ravi is very enterprising and arrived at the embassy after we ventured out to get copies and some printing done and the embassy guards told him where we were….Thus Ravi was our go-to guy for a tuk tuk tour….
Although it was harrowing, we saw some sights and looked at some carpets, some saris and some kurtas- not sure there is a pic of me trying on my eggplant coloured kurta (long shirt over white pyjama style bottom).
Ravi was a great guide and we got out fill of sights, smells and sounds of Delhi!
