Indian Adventure

24 hours in Delphi with it's 120 degree, 95% humidity and enough smog and dust in the air to make LA look like paradise, is enough to make a man feel like  he made a wrong turn at the River Styx and is now making a house call to Hades.

But if you can get over the dust and debilitating heat, you'll find a colorful and culturally diverse city with more character than a Dicken's novel.  But don't take my word for it,

And so, without further ado,


A Photographic Tour of the City of Fire and Dust

Due to heavy bike, car, bus, cow, people traffic, the most efficient and cheapest form of transportation is the rickshaw.  To put it simply, a rickshaw ride is like Mr. Toad's Wild Gran Prix.

No A/C and undependable electricity pushes life to the streets, where people's livelihood covers all available space

The narrow streets and tangles of electrical wiring gave Delphi the vibe of New York circa 1900 in technicolor

 And their parks and monuments are simply otherworldly.  Pockets of paradise in the urban sprawl.

Retiring to an air-conditioned hotel room may have been the highlight of the day at the time, but looking back on the 24 hours I spent in Delphi, it is truly a spectacularly beautiful and visually stunning.  If only it wasn't so fucking hot.
