Day 232 - New Delhi - 26th March 2005

Julie and I are down. We have finally succumed to "Delhi Belli" and I'm telling you it is not pleasant.

On Wednesday we went to the Taj Mahal, Agra and Fetehpur Sikri and were taken to a restaurant favoured by westerners. Amonst other vegetarian items, we had a chicken curry. It was a foolish mistake but since we had not had any Indian food during the 4 weeks we have been here now, we thought we would give it a try.

We were feeling poorly by the time we were coming back and yesterday we were both flat out. Last night it hit with a vengence. Julie spent almost the whole night on the toilet upstairs, which was complicated by her being sick at the same time and I was on the toilet downstairs. We hardly slept at all and today we have been mainly in bed when not on the toilet. This is not nice.

We missed going to church yesterday and it seems like we will be unable to make it for Easter Sunday as well.

Fortunately the boys have not been affected.

We are due to drive to the foothills of the Himalayas on Monday with the other kids here who are on half term. We are hoping we will be up to it.

Spare us a thought. At this point in time we just like to be at home.

These are the pics of Fetehpur Sikri.
