Next leg Amritsar which was a very short flight from Delhi.
We didn't get off to a good start here, our driver left us waiting nervously at the airport for 40 minutes and then proceeded to drive like a lunatic to the hotel and when I say lunatic I mean lunatic by Indian standards not irish or English standards which would have been much easier to deal with. We did however eventually arrive at the hotel in one piece where we experienced the rudiest welcome you can ever imagine. It was almost like they didn't expect guests!
Later that evening we asked where the restaurant was and were directed to the 4th floor where we found it was closed which the guy in reception didn't think to mention while directing us. We did however manage to get some room service which wasn't bad if you like everything smothered in butter!
Following our meal we decided a quite night in was a good idea given we were to board our first overnight train the following night. IT was a great idea had it not been for the loud music playing next door which kept two of us up all night.
We did however soldier on the next day to the Golden Temple which was spectacular. The weather was great and the atmosphere was different.
After spending a couple of hour here we headed for the train station for the long 16 hour overnight train to Agra.
