• Touk Touk Delhi

    The Ritz hotel turns out to be quite nice, feels safe, and the food is very good, so cancelling the other one and moving here for the same price was a good move. Later we realise its walking distance to the main station from the Ritz, so even better.
    It's Sunday, and it seems that in central Delhi, most shops are closed, and it turns out that so is the clothes market we planned to visit to fill some gaps in the kids' sets of clothes. Indians are however ever helpful with shopping suggestions, (often because they get a kickback), but in this case it seems mostly to be genuine friendly help, and so we find a clothes shop that is open. It sells itself as a market, but in fact it’s a shop with multiple rooms. Lennox manages to buy a nice long blue patterned shirt, Nora gets a classic orange top, and Oscar gets his trousers repaired, but Lola goes empty-handed at this point.
    We then take a touk touk for a quick tour of New Delhi: India Gate, Presidents House, Parliament, and then an old Mogul well, which dates from the 14th century. I think the main highlight was actually the drive of all 6 of us in the touk touk.
    In the evening we ate at the hotel, as we did every night in Delhi. A mix of curries, breads, and rice dishes.
