1st full day in Delhi, We had a driver we payed for the day to drive us around Delhi and see it for it's traditional temples and land marks (Humanyuns Tomb, Qutab Minar, lotus temple, and they were absolutely amazing, just so beautiful and have so much history behind them and so much detail, would have taken yonks to make. It was like we were celebs though we had at least 20 families or groups that wanted photos with us, not just a quick snap but 10-15 pics! Was kinda funny after a while! Also funny, when Rach and I were parched after looking at all the tombs and saw bottled water stall , as I asked for 2 chilled bottles he said 40rs Rach is like nah we will go somewhere else just because we are quite vulnerable there and think were getting ripped off by everyone! and cant seem to get the currency, bless!!! Anyway our 'tour guide' guy for the day came to the rescue and was like yeah 40rs Which is printed on the side of the bottle like an expiry date is! Later converting it it's like $0.70 for the 2 large bottles! We did have a chuckle.....
We also we to the Textile museum ' and bought some rather expensive outfits and scarfs but they were all hand made and altered to fit and we were sold them by the designer himself! One of the many hardest things to do is to walk away mid trying to be sold something so Rach and I sat through a good 20 minutes of pulling out all this jewelry which felt like the rings you get in the plastic ball from a coin machine.
Delhi - Indian movie
So our agent over in Delhi assisting with all our travels here said we should go see an Indian movie, we thought ok no worries! After a whole day of seeing more beautiful places in Delhi ( red fort etc) we had some dinner at a local restaurant called festa which we have eaten most not
all our meals at. Popped back into the agent to grab our flight details and our adapter and they said again how we should see one last night and so we said yes ok! Wow subtitles would have helped (mind you prior we text and said we would stay in because we were told it was rat infested and dirty) not overly keen personally! But he had already bought tickets and our assistant was there so we went! But back to the movie, no idea what the story was about! So I made my own story as I went in my head to get through! Felt like forever sitting there coz they also have a mid break in the middle of the movie and then show all the adds again!!! :S I was ready to go to Goa, and the beach after all that!
