Markets and lunch

From Jantar Mantar, I walked down the road to Janpath Market. I'm not sure that I found the main market, but I certainly found some interesting local stalls, including one selling Punjabi outfits. I got talking to the owner, who insisted on having a selfie with me 😄. Everyone in the market was very friendly without being pushy. Outside, however, it was a different story. I was constantly hassled for the first time since arriving in India 5 months ago! When polite, friendly but firm responses didn't dissuade them, I just had to be rude! 😂

My plan to visit Central Park was thwarted because it was closed for lunch, so I headed back towards Connaught Place. I will return to the area another day. On my way back to my hotel, I stopped at a little cafe and had a delicious masala dosa and a black coffee. The total bill was less than £1!

The area around my hotel is full of local shops and stalls, so I bought some fruit (including a variety of musk melon I hadn't seen before) and some Diet Cokes before going back to my room to work and watch some TV. I was feeling knackered after the tribulations of yesterday and today, and the fact that it was 35 degrees outside today!Leggi altro
