Change in plans - No Thai beach but we have an extra week in India!

So after spending a few days in one of our favorite towns, Chiang Mai, enjoying the basic comforts of the internet and a bed we took off on an overnight bus to Bangkok. The bus has the largest seats of any transportation I've taken shy of first class on an airplane. However, it's still not a bed so you never sleep that well. We arrived in Bangkok in the morning only to find out that many of the transportation options to the Island of Koh Tao and other points south were booked up as it is the start of the Thai New Year's celebration. From the story we got this is like going to Disney during April school break - that is to say there will be WAY TOO MANY PEOPLE. Oh well...no more beaches in Thailand . So what does that mean for our trip you may be asking yourself? We're coming home. Just kidding. We moved our flight from Bangkok to Dehli up to that night. We flew Air India at 2:30am and arrived in Dehli yesterday at some other god awful hour. We then found a hotel, dropped off our bags and walked around for a while. After having some of the best Indian food ever we decided to take a nap. That nap lasted from 1pm till around 6am today. I guess we were a bit tired. We both woke up around 7pm chatted for a moment or two and decided that we should get up. Needless to say that we both then promptly laid back down and slept for another 11 hours. It's kind of funny. We are in INDIA which is so far from home and so amazingly different and we spend the first afternoon and night sleeping. Also, I don't think I've ever slept that long. Today we spent our time wandering the Red Fort and the Jama Masjdi. Both were impressive sights. We've also spent quite a bit of time just wandering the streets and the little alleyways. Pretty cool place. In all of our travels we had never seen a cow this far into the middle of a city. Especially not a city this large but the buggers are everywhere! We'll try to add some pics soon.
