Delhi

So today we ventured from New Delhi into Old Delhi - and I thought New Delhi was a culture shock! yeah right!  In brief, we went by train to Old Delhi to a Sikh Mosque.  I just tried to upload a few more photos but it didn't work so will have to try later as soo tired now!!  This mosque provides free food for whoever wants it in Delhi - they feed 5000 people a day!!!



Then we took a local bus to the wholesale spice market and then took a walk down the "narrow lanes" these tiny streets filled with shops, then we want to the largest mosque in india. After that we all went for lunch and I went to see the Gateway to India....and now i'm shattered sitting in the hotel trying not to fall asleep before we go for dinner :-)  All in all, its been a very good day, Delhi is mad, a complete culture shock, but its great!

Tomorrow we take a 6 hour drive to Jaipur!!
