Today we left the hotel at 8.30 am. and arrived home just now at 8.30 pm. It has been an exhausting day, most of it in a pastor's little van in Delhi's crazy traffic. It takes forever to get anywhere. The smog if thick and makes our throats sore. We checked on the Nepali couple who were setting up their new digs, then met with another gentleman, then called into the house of one of the members of, the Indian Pastor, who has kindly been driving us, where we had tea and the most beautiful foods made out of lintel flour. I am keen for the receipes , being a coeliac. We also met another man who is involved with the same sort of ministry here, as we are doing,and it is great to meet up and talk things through, and learn from him about the do's and dont's, especially with another culture. There are 22 million plus people in Delhi and it is only about 80km across. Apparently, 20,000 people move into Delhi every week. The government is working like mad to build more public transport with trains. Don't know how they will manage to keep up with the population explosion. I have a few good photos, but we are having all sorts of trouble with wifi here. We return to Kathmandu tomorrow night,so I will send them in a further blog. We are pretty tired, but tomorrow we need to look for a building to rent for the work that is in the right place, at the right price. We need advice from others as we are strangers in these parts and after lunch, we will be off to the airport, more waiting, I guess.
