Delhi Day 3

First stop this morning was to be the beautiful Askshardam temple - when we were moments away - the cab driver informed us it wasn't open on Mondays !
He didn't want to take us onwards - so we all got out & called another cab to take us to Raj Ghat - the memorial to Gandhi, a calm and beautiful garden and monument.

Then we went back to central Delhi to Jama Masjid the biggest mosque in India - from there we literally crossed the road and went into Chandni Chowk an ancient very busy crowded market - and had Parathas in Paratha Wali Gali (in a famous Paratha restaurant that had been there since 1800's) , this was a very basic place but very busy so hopeful tummies will be OK!! We walked on from there for dessert at Jalebi Wala Gali, Jalabis we're enormous,sweet and delicious!!

Decided to stop off in another buzzing area with a market very close to our hotel on the way back.
Then off to a cousin's for tea & plenty of Indian snacks !

We finished the evening in the hotel open air bar drinking cocktails (bit sad to think it may be the last time in months we'd be able to sit drinking outside).
Saw another very loud wedding procession go past (see video) .Leggi altro
