Hi everyone.

The final blog will be a short one, since I've basically only to have a shower (if I can borrow a towel at the hotel), put on some relatively clean clothes, pack my things, and head for the airport.

The last few days have been exceedingly relaxed.. Not necessarily relaxing, but definitely relaxed. Basically, I've done nothing. Very boring to you readers and lovers of Simon E-stories, but... Tis the truth, the whole truth, and etc.

Trekking in Sikkim coupled with a lot of very bad nights around India had made me so completely nackered, that I simply had to sleep. Ended up finding a cheap-cheap hotel in one of the cheapest and worst parts of New Delhi (Paharganj) and sleeping all day in my tiny cell-like room. Spent my evening looking around the area, getting some money for my last few days, and getting cheated at a restaurant (the food was very good, too good, but definitely not 365Rs.-good!).

Today, I slept until 11 o'clock, then went for some 'internetting' and finally, at about 1300 hours, went for a shopping tour of the city! - yes, I admit it, I am gay!

My dear father, Robert E., told me over a mail that I had loads of money to spend, so what I did was ask around for the best shops in town, then went there and spent my fortune! :) Nah, ended up buying very little - most of all, I've bought Indian spices so that I can make delicious Indian food for family and friends. :)

Last time I traveled in India, Sofia and I had an excellent dinner at one of Mumbai's very best sushi restaurant. This evening, I visited a relatively good mexican restaurant (shows my severe lack of style) and spent a whopping 1600Rs. on my meal.

Well, I'm all gittery to get out of here and back to DK, so that's all from me this time around. As I've told loads of people, this ain't my last travels - not by any stretch of the imagination, so before you know it, there'll be another travellog to keep up with.
