In 2013, my son Chris was married in Kualur Lumpur. Dani and I decided to extend our trip with a visit to India, and a stay in Dubai - two places which we'd been interested in for some time.

A long drive along a new (pretty well deserted) motorway had us flashing past lots of farmland, and hundreds of "universities" which specialised in pretty much everything, it seemed.

Back to Delhi the long way, through hundreds of little villages - much more interesting. The roads leave quite a bit to be desired in places - speedhumps on motorways??

Whilst we weren't enamoured of Delhi, A visit to Old Delhi was much more interesting. Little food stalls and markets, and a cool rickshaw ride through it all.

Next, we visited the UNESCO World Heritage site of Qutub Minar, a collection of historic buildings. Very peaceful away from the hustle and bustle of Delhi.
