After the reservation trial I made my way to the Red Fort and got lost, as usually. It's not that I have no sense of directions, it's that these roads are... I don't know, missing on the maps! After hours of wandering around, I decided to spend a trifle amount of money to take a rickshaw to get me there.
The Fort was nice, but nothing really spectacular. I strolled around for an hour before getting another rikshaw to take me around Old Delhi. But when it started to rain, I changed to an auto-rickshaw to take me back to the hotel. This time I figured out how to heat the water (well, I asked at the reception) and had a steaming hot bath. Afterwards, I took a walk down to Connaught Place where I had diner at the Host (a posh and upmarket restautaurant) to help me soothe my bad mood (caused by the weather) with a lukewarm beer and a delicious and very spicy chicken dish (with heaps of different masalas).
