Today we explored Delhi - a really long day but lots to see!
We started out with a tour of old Delhi. We travelled there on the metro which was lovely because we were in a women only carriage and the metro has air con (much needed as Delhi was over forty degrees today!) The tour of old Delhi included the spice market, jama masjid (a huge mosque) and a Sikh temple where we were invited into the kitchens to make chapati!
After that we had lunch and visited the lotus temple. We then went to New Delhi where we saw lots of wide streets and colonial houses. We saw the presidents house and India gate. We then went to Connaught place - an open air shopping market where Lydia tested her bartering skills. Finally we had dinner and we're now back at the hotel ready for bed and the Taj Mahal tomorrow!
Oh Wow, what a wonderful day and how lucky you all are. Hope you slept well Xxxxxx Julie and Holly Xxxxx
