Second week in Delhi

Hard to believe that we've been here for 2 weeks. This week has been easier with only one clinic booked. That was in a slum with no running water or toilets so there were big water containers everywhere 
Most of my clinic was people with back and knee pain from carrying heavy loads unsurprisingly. Had a really interesting session with students from the slum. The most interesting question was- what would the UK be called if Scotland voted for independence?   - I don't know!
Phil Elizabeth Brian and Jane from New Gen have joined us so it's been great to visit slums and do tourist stuff together. Jane Elizabeth and Sarah have been doing craft stuff with the women while Brian Phil and I took the boys off for a game of cricket. Guess who lost?!!...
We've also had time for being a tourist. The highlights were the Taj Majal obviously
Ghandis place
and an outdoor guitar concert at a stunning Baha'i temple in the shape of a lotus flower while we got eaten alive by mosquitos. 

We are now on the way to Sailaqui near Dehradun where we will be staying at a school/ orphanage with friends of Phils. Likely to be out of Internet range for a week. Happy Easter everyone.
