Day 11 Tour of Delhi P1

Delhi traffic is intense—makes Cairo feel tame. Our first stop was Old Delhi and the Jama Masjid. I found the mosque a bit underwhelming, to be honest. Afterward, we took a 30-minute rickshaw ride through the packed streets of Old Delhi. That was definitely an experience—a true mix of people and cultures all in one place.

Next, we visited the memorial where Gandhi was cremated, surrounded by tall gum trees at the entrance.

Lunch was at Lazeez Affaire in Chandni Chowk, one of the top North Indian spots in Delhi (www.lazeezaffaire.co.in). The food didn’t disappoint. Afterward, we saw a few more temples and mosques, but by then, I’d lost interest. Between the shoe-removal rules, no-photo policies, and the constant presence of hawkers and beggars, I opted to just wait on the bus. We finally got back to the hotel around 7 p.m.—it was a long day.
