Delhi - 14th November

Delhi - two separate cities - old and new - merge into one. The old is mayhem - rickshaws, tuk tuks and all humanity in tiny, narrow and dusty streets. The new - completely different, beautiful wide tree-lined avenues, parks and open spaces. A fantastic dirver - Jagdish showed us the sites from 10.00 am to 6.00 pm - returned exhausted!

Amongst other monuments - we visited







Laxmi Narayan Temple














LotusTemple














Humayen's Tomb (fore-runner by the same architect as The Taj Mahal)





















Qutab Minar









Lal Quila (Red Fort)
